Cost for the remanufactured auto was 1650.00 with a one year unlimited mileage warranty. Labor was 480.00. This was from a local independent mechanic. The auto transmission shops around here wouldn't touch the job. "Why, that there transmission's in backwards!!" Getting a bunch of other stuff done while the engine/tranny were divorced brought the total to nearly $4000.00, but that means there won't be any major repairs necessary for quite some time. YMMV.
