i own a 1995 grand Cherokee lardo 5.2l V8
i've been calling around my area Columbia tn and spring hill tn, cues i need a new transmission bad i was told by one place it will be 1.5k for a rebuild 2k for a used and 3.5k for new but i just called another place and they told me there is no such thing as a new trans?? this true? O_o

 

You can get a new transmission, but you would most likely have to get it from the dealer. A reman is not just a used transmission, everything inside that is a wear item is replaced and the case is cleaned and inspected. Having your transmission rebuilt means replacing all of the soft parts (seals), replacing the friction parts (clutches), cleaning everything and then inspecting all of the hard parts (planetary gears and shells ect), and replacing what is needed. Rebuilding yours may cost more in labor because of added labor for tear down and re-assembly, but cheaper for parts, where as going with a reman trans would only have R&R labor and the cost of the transmission.

 

$1500 for a rebuilt one isn't bad. I'm in Clarksville, and my Jasper rebuilt one went for $1900 installed. If it's a Jasper tranny, it should come with a 3 yr/36k mile warranty on it.

 

The best price for a "new" 46RH I have found is the factory Chrysler. Little better than $1700.00 exchanged. 3 year 100k warranty including towing if the thing dies.
Pick a Part has them for less than $75.00 if you can find one.
Local to upstate NC/lower VA, sub 100k miles are going for $500 used.

YMMV

I just rebuilt the one in my 94 for 200 bucks took me 5hrs and have had no problems.

 

Used will always be the cheapest and less guarantee to work.

Used here runs from $100 - $700, rebuilt $1500 +/-, new $2500-3000.

 

thank you for the info. helps alot!

 

my 46rh died a few months back, ended up with one from a local yard for 550 with a warranty, has 80k on it. prices to have it rebuilt were ranging from 1700+

 

i removed mine myself and brought it to a proffesional who rebuilt for 575. wasnt bad considering i got the warranty and the peace of mind knowing its done right.

 

If you can find one is right i looked for months before i gave up on the Pull a Parts we have in GA

 

Confucius say:
Price does not matter, when you can not have one.
