CES Light.. Trans-code

[IICODECll]

I'm sad. I bought a 1998 Firebird about 2 - 3 months ago. It had 103,000 miles on it, but it ran fine, checked out fine at the shop.

Now, 12/26 the second time the CES light came on and stayed on. I got it down to AAMCO, and they confirmed a "NOC" which isn't bad for the engine... just need to replace the sensor. But they also pulled a transmission code, which indicates the transmission is slipping and needs to be rebuilt/replaced.

How much does a rebuilt transmission cost in your personal opinion?

** Call just came in from AAMCO, ~3000 to rebuild because everything in there down to the electronics is shot. No ETA on when it would be done.

Re: CES Light.. Trans-code

3000 to rebuild sounds expensive. also i once had a transmission slipping code but my transmission wasn't slipping. it was a sensor. also i called around when i thought i would have to get it rebuilt and the most expensive quote i got was 1,500.

Re: CES Light.. Trans-code

If it is really that expensive to get it rebuilt, then buy a new one.

I got a new tranny and had it installed for only $750. This was for a manual though. Price is probably subject to change for auto's.

Re: CES Light.. Trans-code

From what they told me, the gears were stripped, the electronics were fried, and believe it or not there was dirt in the trans. I would have never of known because I felt or hear nothing.

What would you recommend? I see too many options:

• without converter

• 1800 to 2000 converter

• 2300 to 2500 converter

• 9.5 inch 3000 converter

• 9.5 inch 3500 converter

• 9.5 inch 4000 converter

Re: CES Light.. Trans-code

Are you going to be using this car for the drag strip?

If so, go with a 3000 or higher. If not, get the 2000 converter.

Nope. I don't even drive fast because too many cops around here. The worst is when I get pulled over for doing 28 in a 25.

Re: CES Light.. Trans-code

level 1 with a 2000 stall then would be ideal and if you order today you get a 50 dollar discount , also assuming your a V6 car you would price from the LT1 listings Not the LS1 .
THANKS

Thanks for the offer, but my parents talked them down to $2,300.00 in total.

Rebuilding transmission - $1,850.00
Upgraded hardware for the rebuilt transmission - $150.00 (fixes the stripping problem and what not, among things)
Brand new high performance torque - $210.00
Brand new electronics for transmission - $110.00

Thanks! I get it back tomorrow. I would have picked it up today, but I'm at Rutgers right now. Had work from 6 am - 10 pm. Long shifts. I'll let you know how the rebuilt came along!
