350 trans hard parts?
« on: July 23, 2015, 06:16:45 pm »
I've called numerous transmission shops and they say around $1000 to rebuild the 350c if no hard parts need replacing. So, i'm wondering what these hard parts cost if needed to replace? What exactly are they? I'm having a hard time getting the answer from searching google and what not. Thanks.

In general, hard parts include the pump, drums, pistons, gears, sprag clutches, valve body & spacer, accumulators, case, planetary sets, steels, shafts, supports, pawls, springs, snap rings, etc.  Virtually any needed parts other than the frictions, seals and gaskets that come in an overhaul set and the fluid.  Bushings, bearings and the converter generally are priced separately and tacked onto the basic overhaul.  There is no way to accurately estimate hard parts without at least a partial disassembly of the transmission.

In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

Are you looking to rebuild it yourself, or get it done?

Get it done. I'm a lazy bum any more. Just work a lot. I just couldn't get a clear answer from searching the interweb.

When I did my engine/trans swap a couple of years ago, it was going to cost me just as much to have mine rebuilt locally as it did to buy a rebuilt one from TCI. I bought a package deal from them with everything I needed, and it cost me about $1350 shipped.  That included a new Torque Converter, 3 gallons of their racing fluid, and an upgraded external transmission cooler, plus other odds and ends that I needed.  It also looks better because it was all painted and had a "pretty" chrome pan on it, with a drain plug, which the original didn't have.
