ford 02 windstar with a shudder problem, trainy shop qouted $1400 saying problem is in torq converter and they have to rebuild to fix it (dam front wheel drive ) is this about right price or am i being bent over

 

How old is the fluid? Trans shudder often is caused by worn out ATF. A complete flush will often eliminate trans shudder. If the trans shudders for a long time the torque converter will be damaged and the trans has to come out to replace it.

 

My 97 F150 had shudder problem at 50 MPH. Was advised to change trans. fluid and drain Torq Converter. That was at about 60 K miles. Worked great. Have over 100K now. It probably didn't help that I pulled a 5K lb. Camper.

 

well i got it back from the trany shop today. the torqe converter dissintergrated, they said the pan looked like a chea pet from all the metal

guys- our wifes have to tell us about problems with thier cars befor it costs an arm and a leg to fix!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but the question was- is 1400 ( cash price) a resonable price?

 

full r&r rebuild and a tc sounds pretty good to me I just had a 4r70w rebuilt and a tc did the r&r myself and it still cost me 1100$

 

thanks, it's hard to find a reputable shop - thats all

they did good with both my truck and wifes car
