Abe sold you a car with issue?! Wow
Looks like a rebuilt replacement through sector111 is $1,800. Why would a fully rebuilt tranny cost half of the labor to rebuild one...it's weird. Oh well. I'm fine with it if I can drive it. It's not acting up. The grinding is moderate at best, just something I know isn't right.I had a local shop replace mine a few years ago to the tune of around $2,000. Only to have the ring and pinion fail shortly thereafter. Until it gets real bad I'd just live with it myself.
Because there are plenty of people who will do an engine or tranny rebuild at less than $100/hr shop rate that the dealer quoted you.Looks like a rebuilt replacement through sector111 is $1,800. Why would a fully rebuilt tranny cost half of the labor to rebuild one...it's weird.
Fair enough, I'm new to this Lotus stuff. I figured that was a shiiiit estimate. The guy sounded rather unintelligent as well when he was describing things.Because there are plenty of people who will do an engine or tranny rebuild at less than $100/hr shop rate that the dealer quoted you.
Care to rebuild mine if needed...? with compensation of course?Wow! I removed my 2-Elevens trans, rebuilt it, installed h/d 3rd and 4th gears in under 11 hrs. New synchros, blockers, bearings etc. That was the first one I have done. Could shave a couple more hours easy. Of course it helps that I did transmissions for a living for 35yrs.30 hrs is crazy. It's basically the same job as a Celica and book time is 14.4 hrs. That's to R & R and rebuild.
