So, I got the quote on the Bravada transmission..

The torque convertor spent a good chunk of time fragging and sending pieces through the pump body, subsequently causing pump failure. Pump failure basically caused the transmission to burn from back to front, destroying everything in the process.

Cost of labor $485

Cost of parts, fluids and tax - $1406.

Grand total, $1891.06, out the door.



That's getting me a full rebuild with all new everything, a heavy duty, high stall torque convertor, a high volume, high pressure pump and a stage 2 shift kit.. That should make the swap a bolt-on affair!

Shane.Trammell 09-20-2005 04:06 PM

umm go to a junk yard and buy one used and then have it rebuilt if you want. it will be a lot cheaper bc all of the internals wont be torn up

phinsup 09-20-2005 04:23 PM

That sounds about right for a full rebuild on an AT. Like shane said, get a junkyard one and toss it in there, **** having it rebuilt

Meh, the truck is acting stupid. I'm thinking, now that I have some cash, I might just drop it off at the stealership and have them do a full inspection.. Pay 'em $70 or whatever to tell me everything that's wrong.

I thought the plan was to swap engines?



why pay for a diagnostic just to pull the engine?

Sinful7 09-24-2005 02:43 AM

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif shoulda been more specific - the recently replaced front end (ball joints, tie rods, pitman arm, axles, shocks and hubs) is acting up. It's doing some random pulling left and right. Motor works good for now, and the tranny is nice and solid, but I think the shift select linkage is loose.

did you get it rebuilt or buy a junker?
