Cost of Transmission Casing and Labor

In general, if you are buying a new transmission case for your car, you will pay $700 for the piece, if you are buying it retail with no price break. With that said, you might talk with the service shop and manager and let them know of your situation. Frankly, there is more than a bit of room within the price so that they could cut you a break. No, it isn’t a huge break, but it is, nonetheless, a break. How much could this break be? It is likely that the break will be about 7 to 9 percent $49 to $63. Also, they may be able to show you a break on the labor so that all told you may get $100 or $125 off on the repair.

Of course, this does depend on the shop and management. It is possible that you might get less or you might get more. More than likely, if you manage to get any sort of break, it will be higher than the one outlined here as our information is based on strictly on retail.

Remember, too, that your Tucson doesn’t need a brand-new casing. Your SUV really doesn’t care whether the casing is new or used. This said, another way to keep the cost down is to look around at local auto salvage yards and wholesale used parts outlets where you will likely find the part available at a considerable savings ($300 or so in some cases).

Whatever way you choose, you can expect to save something on this.
