    Getrag G260 Refresh Services SoCal

    I am starting to offer Getrag 260/5 refresh/reseal/services.

    These transmissions are 30+ years old, and the “known good $300” transmission are worn, unserviced, and leaking. Avoid this risk with a proper inspection and refresh rather than trashing transmissions.
    Typical problems with G260s:
    Leaking case halves
    Leaking front countershaft seal
    Worn syncros
    Missing shift pins
    Input and Countershaft bearing failure

    I am offering extremely discounted pricing to some initial customers in order to build my reputation with the local community. All work is fully warrantied, bring it back if you’re not happy.
    Some possible service options, and rough pricing:

    Full reseal (exterior seals, case half seal, etc) - $600 ($200 initial pricing for my first few customers)
    Open, inspect - $300, the price goes up after worn parts identified ($200 initial pricing for my first few customers)
    Full """rebuild""" - Inspection, new seals, synchros, bearings, small parts - Starts at $2000 ($1300 initial pricing)
    Fixing broken units when possible - case by case basis


    I do not remove transmissions, just bring me the trans. Local business only, No shipping.
    I will buy good/bad Getrag/ZF cores as well. DM for questions and exact pricing. I am happy to look at other gearbox models, but I specialize in G260s.
    I only want to save some of these great gearboxes. Located in Long Beach, CA. @deutschbilt on IG.

    Bumping this. Have had a couple customers now for reseal jobs. Some pictures and updated pricing
    Open and inspect only $100
    Basic case reseal $500
    +120 for input bearing
    Full reconditioning starts ~$2000
    Dont put an unknown gear box in your car!

        kind of wish i didnt give away my old trans. would have been a good candidate for a refresh since it didnt grind and shifted smooth compared to my trans i have now.

            Good on you! We have been lacking a good rebuilder lately. I have a pile of g260's at the shop, most of them ran low on fluid, couple have shift fork issues. Been meaning to pull them apart, but the shop life keeps me very busy. Let me know if you need cores, or parts. :)
