i have a 1998 SLE and i took it in to a shop and they told me my trasmition is junk it slips in first gear. i was wondering what a price of a new rebuilt one would caust apposed to a junk yeard one? and if anny one could tell me what transmition i have and what gear ratio i have? my vin number is 1G2HX52K6WH225225

This doesn't sound like a Performance issue or idea.

I'll move this to General Chat for you.

expect to pay $400-700 for a used tranny or $1400-$1700 for a rebuilt

look on your spare tire cover to get your RPO codes.. either list them all here, take a picture, or check to see yourself

wouldn't he most likely have the 4T60-E or 4T65-E? i'm taking from his sig. that his car is not SC

yeah, check your codes, and if you want something quality and have the money, go for a remanufactured unit with a GOOD warranty, not just some 30 day thing.

I recommend Jasper, expect to pay around $2500 after all is said and done.

The vin you listed shows your car as an SE not SLE.

Tony, 1993-1999 SLEs are a special package on the SE trim. vin codes don't show it. H4U RPO and badges sometimes. Until 2000, when SLE became a trim and replaced SSE

Uh Tony you suppose in the 98 Model year they made the SLE'* look like the SSE/SSEi'* and badged them accordingly

I have a 96 SSE (4T60E) and went the cheap route (junkyard trans). $900 installed. Lasted 22 days, replaced under warranty with another one. That one didn't make it to the end of the test drive. Third one is now being replaced after 4 months. I went with the reman this time for no other reason that it has a 2yr/24k warranty and since I don't know how to works on trannys, I am not taking the risk a FOURTH time. My opinion (emphasis on opinion) is that I would never again put a junkyard trans in any car I expect to keep, such as my 96 SSE. But that is just my OPINION after this bad experience.

i bought a tranny filter and LUCAS tans stop slip and it seams to be working my car is going into over drive once agen. how long do you figger this will work for?
