Rebuild costs

[duramax3388]

I was just looking around and found a 01 for sale that they said the transmission is broken on it but its just a 8.1 so I don't think it should need much of a upgrade in the rebuild. Just maybe some upgrades to bring the 01 on par with later models so what am I in for? Thanks everybody for your help

well rebuild kit (seals etc) is around $300, new oem clutches/ steels 200-300, fluid/ filters $200 and possibly a torque converter? (you can find a good used one though for cheap enough) and might as well do transgo while your in there so $200 for that


so i'd say around $1000 if you do it yourself and you'll have a "new" tranny

Thanks I was figuring it would be more than that. But I did just see one for 950. Just wanted to find out what I would be getting into before I jump in over my head.
