My 96 Blazer Transmission Went Out
My transmission went out with almost 146K miles on her. I had it towed to AAMCO Transmission and the next morning they called and said I needed a complete rebuild. They quoted me $2850.00 and they said since I'm a repeat customer they were going to knock off $1000.00 which would make it $1850.00. Does this sound right for a complete rebuild with tork converter and all. They also said that the tranny has never been servcied and they have never seen a 4X4 trans make it to 146K before. I won my 96 Blazer off of EBay back in 02 for $4200.00 and it had 78K on her. The guy I won it from told me then that the tranny been serviced twice since he bought it new. I gave AAMCO the go ahead to rebuild the tranny. I just like to know if $1850.00 is a fair price for a complete rebuild. OH, They also said it will have a 12 month 12,000K warranty. Also I looked on the AutoZone website and they want $1330.00 for a rebuilt tranny. So I guess I am getting an OK deal from AAMCO.

My first rebuild cost a little over a grand with a "friends discount" from the shop. Then when it went out again, it cost another 1100 for upgraded parts.
So, I'd say you are getting a pretty good deal. I'd also ask about the upgraded parts, but then again, I'm apparently a trans-eating-monster or something.

Or has the shift kit installer messed up too many transmissions?
