    Transmission rebuild from dealer

    K so my synchronizer is bad on 5 and on its way out in second..... I took the car down tothe dealer to have them check it out, they came back to me and said i need a new transmission and that they can send it out for a rebuild and install it for 5505 1190 for labor 4315 for the rebuild with a 2 year warrenty... My only concern is that labor price legitamite and is there anywhere i can send my transmission i can also go the cheap route and get a transmission with 80something thousand miles on it and installed for around 2000 with a one year warrenty at my mechanic.... Any thought? or can point me in the direction for a cheaper transmission rebuild that i can send out and put back in myself....

    Labor is probably legitimate.

    I don't think so. Their labor only involves dropping the tranny and putting the rebuilt one back in, right? If so, that's too much labor IMO.

    It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

    Ug. This is why i just did what i did. I have seen numbers as low as 2500 for rebuilds though, so i would go outside of the dealer realm and get quotes at least. I mean, its a GM tranny anyway. not like its bmw specific.
