Spectrum Transmission
Q. Vince, what it'll cost to rebuild a 1988 Chevy Spectrum, 1.5 Liter, automatic transmission? What kind of warranties come with rebuilts?
Thanks...
A. It's really hard to price out a transmission rebuild since it depends on what it will need. The only way to know for sure is to open it up and look inside. Generally a rebuild will run about $1500.00. The warranty depends on the shop doing the work. Generally you'll get a 12 month/12,000 mile warranty.
Jasper is a good place to get a remanufactured unit. They do quality work and I have never had a problem with them. They come with a 36 month/75,000 mile warranty also. You can call them at 1-800-827-7455 for a price.
You can get a used transmission from a junkyard for about $300.00 to $500.00 but all you'll get is a 90 day warranty.
