Yes it is high and I would look for alternatives BUT I was quoted $1800 for
my Caravan trans (fixed it by changing the fluid from Dextron back to
Chrysler 7176 ...you cant always believe the owners manual!)
My friend just paid over $2500 for the trans on his 97 Bronco 4wd. I quess
in the scheme of what transmission shops get for ordinary cars that is not
all that excessive.

All
I hate to say this but the original estimate on the tranny was $2500. I
thought that was kind of high so I went to another shop. The first guy
could
have seen me coming and figured I'd say OK no matter what price. Maybe the
cost on the older transmissions is more than the newer ones. I thought the
$1200 cost was a bargain. And if there are no other options.......
