Costs for new transmission
I just learned that my '00 S needs a new transmission. The indy shop said it would be less expensive to purchase a used transmission and install it rather than a rebuilt unit. They're quoting me about $4500-$5500 for the working using units with about 50k on them.
Has anyone had this type of work done before? Does this cost sound in line? |
sounds high for the transmission itself. usually u can find them for about $2500 to $3k. If that includes install, its not hateful but still kinda high.
doing a tranny R&R on a 986 is not a very long process, especially for an experienced shop. |

Should be under $4K installed. $4500 is kind of high and $5500 is highway robbery. |
I foolishly assumed this was a manual trans. I have no clue what the autos cost

Good info here for parts. (I still have mine too, if you're looking for a tip)

Sorry, I guess I should have clarified I have a 6 speed manual. The price the shop gave me included install. I can’t remember the break down as I was driving when they called and couldn’t write it down. I think install was around $1000.

Is yours just 2nd gear or 2nd and reverse? Had my 01 S rebuilt with 2nd and reverse out for about 3k all In by my indie. He is very good with transmissions but many can d it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
ymkmkrz-my problem is in all the gears. It’s been very difficult to shift into any gear while driving and it’s never popped out of gear.

That sounds a bit unusual. Maybe a rebuilt unit would be a better choice. Vertex rebuilds them and you send yours in for a core deposit assuming it’s rebuildable. They rebuild a lot of Porsche stuff, but i can’t personally vouch for the transmissions. They have been in business a very long time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
I put a used 5spd in my car back in 2012 and I think total cost including clutch and a serviceable used flywheel was $3200. Things have changed since then so $4k is probably about right if they do trans/clutch/FW/IMS.
