# Tranny rebuild time

Posted by Tim (93se5sp) on September 09, 2004 at 10:00:04: I got an estimate from a transmission place for $408 to rebuild my 5 sp, provided I buy the bearings and seals (per Matt's recommendations)and pull the transmission for him. (He figures 4 hrs of labor * $68/hr). Is there anything else I should make sure he inspects or replaces while he has it apart? Synchros, etc? I just dont want to repeat this whole process again anytime soon. Thanks! Tim Replys: that is a LOT cheaper than I thought. I was figuring either way, I'd have to shell out at least 900quid. nm lophix (94se) 11:27:22 9/09/2004 (1) that's about right.. expect to pay about $350 in labor plus parts, IF you pull the tranny yourself. nm Matt (93SE) 11:28:21 9/09/2004 (0) me too :( MrGone (92se) 10:56:18 9/09/2004 (0) provide the bearings and seals, then leave him with the option of replacing other needed componends (synchros) Matt (93SE) 10:04:05 9/09/2004 (3) That's what I figured Tim (93se5sp) 05:29:25 9/10/2004 (0) Work with the guy and tell them how the tranny shifted before.ie.. smooth/crunchy/easy/difficult etc.. n/m Jeff92se (92se) 10:06:50 9/09/2004 (1) yeah, that too. nm Matt (93SE) 10:18:14 9/09/2004 (0)
