Need to replace the transmission in a 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan and I was quoted?

$1898 for a rebuilt tranny and $800 for the labor to put it in by a local Dodge dealer. Plus maybe a little more for fluids, etc. Anyone have any experience, does this sound like an ok deal? OH an dthe new tranny will have a 3 year or 100,000 mile warranty.|||that is a mopr remanufactured unit. like you said, it has a 100,000 mile warranty. it will be better than the one you had in it, and better than anything that will come from a trans shop. stay away from trans shops or junkyard stuff. you get what you pay for. i put 4 junkyard transmissions in one car, and that last time the junkyard payed me to take it out a 5th time and rebuild it. i recently had a minivan come in that had just been to a trans shop. the trans shop sent them to me. i fixed the problem that they spent a couple thousand dollars trying to fix for $300. also the aftermarket parts are not normally close to the quality of the mopar stuff. you could have leaks and i guarantee it will not shift the same with aftermarket clutch material. 800 is a little steep for labor. it should be around 4-5 hours if i remember right.|||I would shop around, you can get a better deal than that. Try a local transmission shop, they are usually quite a bit cheaper than the dealer and probably would be rebuilding yours for the dealer.|||I think you're paying about double what the job should cost. Shop around.|||that's not a real good deal for that caravan,your going to have more in it than it would probably bring right now,id shop around a little on the transmission,you can find a better deal than that on one,them charging that much for labor usually is included in the price of it and that's usually around 16-1800 bucks total,that's way too much to spend on it,good luck.|||if your going to get it fixed go to a transmission shop its cheaper.|||No its too much you can buy a used tranny from a junk yard with a warranty of course it will only be 30- to 90 days but its a better deal a used tranny should only run $500 depending on who you call and most shops will install it for you for $350-$400 depending on who you used with fluids included.|||If it is a re-manufactured on, that sounds reasonable. My '96 with 186000 miles was quoted at $3200, installed. Like mentioned above, it would be a better transmission than the one taken out. Too much for a 12 year old van with almost 200K, I donated it to the shop for the cost of the diagnostics.
