I’ve got my 07 4 cylinder FJ in a loca shop and they’re screwing with me. I was told that a torque converter would cost about $1000 to replace and that a “worst case scenario” would be $3000. Got a call back saying things were good in there, but they’d need to replace the torque converter and the clutches. Cost, $2995. Am I wrong to feel like I’m being cheated. I was pretty sure I could get a full rebuild for $3000. If things aren’t bad with my tranny, why $3000. And I only get a 2 yr, 12,000 warranty?

Need a replacement transmission? Quality transmissions are hard to find. Free estimate to your email.

Let’s look at it this way, it could have been far, far worse for you than $3,000. Granted, it is a lot of money, but with replacement or rebuilt trannies costing from $4,900 to as much as $5,700 or more in some cases — depending on the transmission — the $3,000 figure seems reasonable.

Here’s something else for you to think about. You were told it would likely cost you at worst $2,995. The difference between $3,000 and $2,995 is just $5. Really, you have to admit it is the same price, isn’t it?
