I just spent $1100 Canadian on my TH700 for my Diesel. It's the same as the 350 4wd.
And that was with about $400.00 discount.

Electronic transmissions usually cost more.

I don't know what year they started making them electronic.

Washinton dc or washington state. I was going to get my trans rebuilt, then it went to getting a used one and then to getting a rebuilt one. I seen a ton on ebay and the rebuild kits are like 250. Down here theres a guy who makes some of the best automatic race transmissions on the east coast, i know sme shops wanted something like 800-1200 for a full rebuild.

That'll be Wa State, I used to go down there all the time when I lived in Abbotsford.

If your taking a trip through the Okanagan you can always get it done by the people that did mine. They actually honor their warranty, but it's probably a pain from south of the border.

Border Transmission Trail BC. I don't know what the city south of the border there is.
It's only worth it if your going there for a holiday anyways.

Mine was 1100 Cndn, but it was the TH700

Depends on area and if you get a rebuilt/new converter its 1100-1500 US. You also want a TCI sunshell cause thats the weakest part in the 4L60E and I have sheared that baby off pulling things so do it right. Have to pull the xfer case to do it so more than a 2wd.

You can find all prices and quality.
But one of the best is a GM dealer rebuilt transmission.
3 year 50K full parts and labor nation wide warranty.
But it might pay to have yours checked out first.
May not be that much bab on it and als remember the engine has to be running right for the transmission to work right.
How is that transmission fluid and filter?
Have you got anY codes?

You really should get the codes before replacing/rebuilding the transmission. Ours stopping shifting all together, and it turned out it was only 1 part that needed to be replaced in the transmission. That was almost 3 years ago, and it's still shifting fine.
