i have a 2003 montero limited in vancouver bc and my tranny just blew, i dont know what to do, i cant find a used one anywhere around here and the dealer wants to charge me 10,000 for a new one :S and thats not even with installation. its starts off in 3rd gear (safe mode) and there is absolutely no reverse.

anyways does anyone know what i can do with my car?

also no ones really knows how to rebuild the damn thing.
im like 1 in 9 people that ive seen own this car in vancouver bc

 

Start calling your junk yards. 10k for a transmission just tells me they can't be bothered.

 

If you want to put a new OEM transmission in, look into all the online resources. Even with shipping, you'll most likely be under 10k.

Good Luck

 

i just looked on the website and saw nothing for transmissions.

what would you think of me trying to repair it my self, i have the manual to guide me.

ps my brother in law is a mechanic but he doesn't really fiddle with trannys tho, but he said he will help me as much as he can

 

Check out the below link... Transmission- $5,529.51

I don't think I would try it with my DD, but with a mechanic by your side...perhaps.

 

swapping out a tranny is a ****-easy job.
If you have the tools to do it, go right ahead.

 

Agreed! However, I think the OP was asking about repairing/rebuilding his existing transmission in his last post. That is a bit more involved than a straight up swap.

 

well ive searched everywhere and there is no used trannys for sale, and spending 6000 dollars is just plain idiotic for tranny.

so the only option i have is to rebuild it.
but i was thinking how bad could it possibly be to rebuild it my self?

any advise would be greatly appreciated

 

I was looking for some unrelated parts for my Monty and found a wrecking yard in Northeast PA that has an '03 that's wrecked. Front end damage. Can't remember name, but they do have an Ebay store.

 

i have already been searching on ebay.

im thinking of rebuilding it my self with my brother in law thats a mechanic.

we have a step by step instructions for the rebuild but not sure how its gonna go.

ill most likely post pictures and instructions after im done for other people in my situation.
