Quoted for 1jz auto box rebuild, dose this sound right?

[Anaru]

So i just got a call from Wannaroo auto trans; The tranny on the soarer is fucked. All clutches are gone etc. and needs a complete rebuild, they quoted me $2920 (rebuild to stock specifications)

This sounds a touch on the high side, or is this the going rate?

Other option is the buy a second hand box, but then the same thing could happen down the track.


Not too sure what to do, they are currently just waiting for my go ahead;

Thoughts on price or other options?

[Skitzo]

LOL. Fuck that. Could buy a new soarer for that, or do an R154 conversion. I'd just grab a second hander.

Im doing my A340e for around $600 in parts. Get another box- or ring mv automatics.

Yeah could even go something like this:

http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/dianella/engine-engine-parts-transmission/a340e-mv-stage-2/353996029

and get them to chuck it in and then it would still work out cheaper. But without being on the car, you don't know how 'accurate' the sellers description is.

is there much of a difference with the supra a340e? ie; what needs to be change to make it fit? or pretty no go zone?

i got an aparant stage 2 mv auto box to suit soarer , $1500 if you want it (inc a 3200 stall and mv 1.5 shift kit )

mv stage 2 box , around $2500

2nd hand soarer box's $100-400 ( they are getting hard to find now )

also i know c-red has one on the floor that came from a crashed car , i think they want around $400 for their's and at least offer and fitting service too.

apparent, as in you're not sure? or is there another re-builder called 'aparant'

:p

[mxracer]

ahah . apparent , as in not sure .. mv autos is the builder .. prob the best and well known a340 rebuilder in australia

[Aristoman]

Agreed with mxracer and others just grab a 2nd hand box. Grab a few mate & install yourself not rocket science either.

[ENEMIE]

i have a couple of those boxes at work also if you decide to go 2nd hand

I'm gonna start buying these boxes in bulk, buy the Kevlar kits and rebuild them and sell them for about 2k and still make a tidy profit :)
Take about 2 hours to fully rebuild one of these :)
