Hello! I'm a new memeber. I have a black turbo supra 1990. My automatic transmission is out. It's completly out. I need to how much it would cost me to rebuild it. Plz reply.

Hey supra-<br><br>don't bother rebuilding the transmission, it is not definite and you will spend more than going out to a local junkyard and finding a low mileage transmission...that's much simpler than trying to rebuild the damn thing....<br><br>So, my opinion is not to rebuild it, other people might disagree, but I normally hate rebuilding things, I mean look at engines, which is better ? rebuilt or remanufactured? remanufactured of course....<br><br>So, try to find a local junkyard and get a transmission that way, it will be much cheaper and faster...

No disagreement. Love it or not, it's just an 11 year old car. The junk yard solution is just the way to go here.

Well, I was told the same thing. But, what happpens if the transmission on the junked supra is bad? Or, if it goes bad in a couple of months what do I do? I can't go and complain. On the other hand if I rebuild it I have a guarantee. By the was how much will it cost me to rebuild the transmission???

You'll have to call a transmission shop and get an estimate. Call several and shop around, nobody on the internet is going to be able to give you an accurate price for your area.<br><br>A decent wrecking yard should give you a limited warranty with the transmission. You might have to ask. Everyone knows buying stuff out of a junk yard has inherent risks, but the money you save- even if you have to go back and get two of them- is worth it.

Well, this guy by my house has a supra and wants to give it to me for 200 bucks. Good? Is it worth it?

He has a trannny!

If that's the only problem with it, I'd say yes. Go for it, for a few hundred bucks, some elbow grease, determination and a rebuild manual you might be able to get it up and going. <br><br>Of course, I've been bit in the ass by "too good to be true" projects before. You could wind up dumping hundreds or even a few thousand dollars into something that will never run. What happens is you get into it deeper and deeper- like quicksand- and you always think "just a couple more parts and it'll go." I know, I literally hauled one car to the wrecker after putting several hundred bucks into it, I just decided "no more, not another cent."<br><br>Check it carefully, listen to it run, if it doesn't run, ask "why not?" Ask the seller important questions like, "How long has it been sitting?" If it's sat for a long time, then you have to consider that things like the brakes could be corroded beyond use or the radiator or the fuel system might be gummed up. Be sure and ask why, since he has the transmission, the guy didn't fix it himself.<br><br>This isn't a gift horse, look it carefully in the mouth or it could act like some kind of four wheeled sponge and suck all the money out of your pocket.

$200? I mean look at how much a new tranny would cost you....and rebuild? IF you are so adverse to buying one from the junkyard, what is the difference then?<br><br>most junkyards give you about 90 day warranty with it....I mean in IL, you can pay $30 and whatever tools you need you bring and whatever you can take apart is $5/part.....so i mean...<br><br>I think you have to be careful....either way, the cheapest route is buying one from a junkyard, then goto possible rebuild, and then maybe new one... but i normally stay away from rebuilt...<br>I had a 2 BBL carb for my CJ and rebuilt that, and spent about $100 in rebuilding the existing one, and then it still wouldn't work, so I went out and purchased a new float for it, and almost spent the same amount as a new one would have cost...
