$3200 to $4000 for an A618 heavy duty Transmission overhaul?
 

$3200 was for a heavy duty rebuild with a single clutch disc torque converter, $4000 for a 4 clutch disc torque converter! I'm in Arizona. This sounds like a really high price to me! Has anybody here in Arizona done a heavy duty overhaul with a reputable shop for a reasonable price?

I see a link to Goerend here and with their warranty, this seems worth it even though it's going to be costly!http://64.19.142.11/images.ibsrv.net...es/shocked.gif

just had one done in my area and it was 2700 for a trip, disk TC with a billit input shaft. But I thick if I had the time and money I would get a Goerend or DTT my buddy has a DTT thats 10 years old now and tows a 10k trailer all the time with 300 hp and its still doing great!

You can easily spend $6,000 for a built tranny.

Goerend list price for a triple disc 48RE built, is $3950... plus $1000 core charge.

This is not a ton more than you were quoted.

Rebal, what or who is DTT?

DTT is Diesel Transmission Technology. They are in Sardis B.C. Canada. You can call and see if they have a local installer in your area. Their website is

Thanks Prattman. I will just keep looking in the Arizona area for a builder down here. I found PR Transmission here in Mesa on Alma School rd in mesa and I will look into them a bit more..................

I may have to sell one of my cars in order to afford this so I'm prepping for spring! We will have a couple of Garage sales to dispose of everything we don't want to take with us.

Actually it appears that my first estimates are not that bad! I know going up the ALCAN is going to be tough and I want a well built trans!:cool:
