BMAN1113 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 What am I looking at to have my '93 SC400 transmission rebuilt. $$$ I'm getting a whining sound from right under the shifter when I accelerate. This sucks!! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyApril7 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 i had my LS done for about 2200 bucks including a rebuilt converter. There are numerous transmission shops that will rebuild any SC or LS transmissions for under $1300 in the San Gabriel VAlley. I did some research when I thought my tranny went out.

BMAN1113 Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 $1300!!!... I was just quoted $5400 from the dealer..... $4500 from a very good dealer alternative and $3600 from some other decent tranny shop. None of them want to rebuild one, though. They all say that that transmission is a b*tch, and that they rarely come out right. This came from a master Lexus mechanic that had previously been with the dealership since 1989. On the other hand, being at the dealership all those years he probably never had to rebuild one. They all just want to swap it out for a factory rebuild. But then again don't they "rebuild" them at the "factory" ? This sucks!! JZZ30.. your $2,200 job came out flawless? Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzz30 Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 flawless! silky smooth and great! of course my friend did it and he is a great mechanic but that is normal price for a tranny rebuild from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
