Listen to these guys... They're right. You shouldn't pay anywhere near that price, even installed.

Make sure you aren't getting the "Oh, he's rich 'cause he drives a Hummer' treatment...

Get more prices using the transmission number rather than vehicle, then nail 'em to the wall...

Good luck.

Damn. I hear you guys - and now I'm stuck. I've been using the same shop for YEARS and (until now, I guess) I really trust them, so I gave them the go ahead yesterday, unfortunately before you guys helped me out by answering. The Hummer dealership in town (Buffalo, NY) quoted me $2990 installed with a 5yr/50k warranty, and I called my guys back and got them to extend their 3/36 to match the 5/50 for the same $2600. I thought that was pretty good until I read what you guys wrote.

I'll try to talk with them citing what you guys have said and see if they'll drop the price, but I'm probably too late.

My fault completely, and thanks guys.

i wouldnt goto a hummer dealership to have it fixed. i would goto a trans shop.

i just had to have mine rebuilt. and we changed everything in the trans to as beffie as he could find for the trans. and the trans cost me $1700. i put it in myself so i dont know labor but i would guess it would take a shop 8hr to pull and reinstall the trans.

Tell them you want a Transgo kit put in it and the warentee in writeing .that's the least they can do at that price .I would also change the transfer case fluid while your at it . at that price they should take you out to dinner and a show first ,than give you a kiss and use plenty of lube .OUCH
