How much is it to rebuild a Turbo 350 transmission

If you take it to the shop to them probably about $250. That's an estimate I got once. Also depends on your location

I paid $175 in the early 90's...

I feel your pain. $1000 is awful high for a rebuild. Are these "chain"-type shops (like Mr. Transmission) or independently-owned shops?

Like I said, I used to have a guy that did my TH350 for like $175... He also did a Dodge 727 for my van and as I recall I paid $185 for that. These were rebuilds "in the vehicle". I didn't take an unmounted tranny in for work. Just towed the car to the shop and 2 days later drove away.

I'd post on Craigslist immediately asking for a recommendations on a shop or mechanic that could do the work for cheaper.

Also, check on Craigslist for a used, working tranny. I found one here in Atlanta just now for $150. At least you'd be back on the road for a while.

Is the Sub 2WD? I don't know how much ground clearance you have, but I'm pretty sure I could change out the tranny in my Blazer without jacking it up. I'd need a tranny jack of course, which you could rent or borrow. A swap on a 2WD would be less involved--no transfer case to remove and fool with...

Just something else to think about. In the meantime you could do the rebuild on the old one. I know you don't have a shop, but you could still pull it off with a rebuild kit and a little time/patience. Or at the very least it'd buy you time to save for a proper rebuild if you don't want to tackle the job yourself.

They are both independents. With excellent reputations. The cheaper one is

They are getting more expensive to rebuild for some reason. You might do like I did and get a used one from a salvage yard.

Hey I know a Jon Pickens here in Yuma. You the same guy? Who in Yuma would do a rebuild on a trany for $175? Thats more the price of a filter and fluid change most places.

Nope... I'm in Atlanta, originally from TN. Does he spell it J-O-N too?

I'm sure he's from the same bunch that came over before the revolutionary war. My mother recently told me that at Highland Games and Irish festivals, she gets strange looks from people who hear her last name. Apparently Europe was happy to be rid of us...

Yes, he sure does.
