I'm looking to rebuild the c-6 transmission on my 1973 F250. 360 c.i. with NP205 divorced transfer case. It looks like I would be spending almost 300 dollars to buy the rebuild kit if I was to do the work myself. I would have probably pay another 200 to get it towed to the shop to work on it myself. I was quoted $700 to have a trans shop do the rebuild. Does that price seem reasonable to have it rebuilt professionally?

-Thanks for the opinions

 

alot better then here in jersey i was quoated 1,800 thats y i stay away from automatics i have to many problems with them and they r to expesive to fix
t18/t19 np435 zf n the m5od are easy to rebuild and ive only had to rebuild 1 manual trans but it was just for the first and reverse syncros but ive had 6 auto tranys in 2 diffrent trucks in less then 2 years

 

Yeah, I'm considering a swap to a manual trans. I need to figure out my summer internship before I drop the cash. I would prefer to switch over to a Borg Warner T-5 so I could get overdrive/better fuel economy. We'll see...

 

yea im partial to the t18 and zf trans ive had a few t18s the ony problem i have with those is i forget im driving a 4 speed n keep trying to put it into 5th
