$3400 to fix my car YAY

[KeithV]

The tranny literally exploded, the fluid was gray and had chunks of metal in it...

Soo... $3400 using a new tranny from BMW or $1400 using a used one from Aurora auto wrecking..

At least it'll be in great form now!

[SlammedE30]

Don't waste $2000 on a new one. Just get the used one, from Aurora.

$1400? isnt that expensive for a used tranny? for what car?

the trany is $375, $1400 is for all new seals, flex disk, output shaft, clutch, fan clutch, thermostat, and some other random parts.. and all labor.

DIY, order all that other stuff online, you could probably get out for $800 or less.

I work 40 hour weeks. I don't have the time, space, or energy to do this myself.

How much is the shop charging you per hour for labor? Thats too much money man. You can get a used tranny with a std warranty installed for $800-$1200 tops around here.....I would assume WA and NJ are not that different.

Try save some money as $3400 can get you a whole new e30 in good condition.

I thought I mentioned it, but I'm also having some cooling system work done, and also a new starter put in.

This is just a result of a botched tranny job a few years back.

$2400 Remanufactered Manual Transmission, 85' 325e, Direct from BMW.

I myself am getting a used one and going through it. All new parts + tranny including clutch and short shifter kit is about $800 and a good amount of labor.

But hey if you got the money... I would love to be able
to get a reman from BMW and have it installed. That would be great.
