Transmission rebuild Sign In

I have an 88 dodge d250 with a 318 5.2 L engine with 170,000 miles on it. My automatic transmission has started slipping and i was wondering about how much it would cost to get it rebuilt if i take it and put in myself and just have the shop rebuild the transmission?

If 2WD there probably isn't too much labor in the R&R unless rust is an issue. You would need to ask locally and find out the two different prices AND especially any warranty concerns!

ok, and also since it is high mileage i was wondering if a knew torque converter would be a good idea since i already have the trans out cause i have a feeling that may have also caused some problems?

If not too expensive I'd go for a new converter. I'm not a trans specialist but do recall from the stone age of school that they can be tested which was way before 1988. Still, I would do things in cooperation and with suggestions of person/place that is doing the overhaul,

88dodge; I would strongly recommend replacing the torque convertor. Like having eggs without the bacon.
