70 Charger - Mechanic says "Transmission Selector Shaft" is leaking and wants 8 hours labor to replace

[Ceedawg]

Prime example of why no shop will ever touch my car. Transmissions are always the big mystery that most shops wants to “rebuild” for the slightest problem. Always for big $. I remember someone bringing me a ram van that needed a “trans rebuild” for 5 grand ( even tho a new trans from Chrysler was $2500 exchange) . I traced it down to a fried drivetrain computer, $300 to have it rebuilt. 10 minute swap. Buy the tool and diy, they are not that hard to work on. Find a friend if you need help. Good luck.


That neutral switch leak I had for years before I figured it out. Only leaked when cold.

Trans rebuild kits are $125 tops the rest of the $$$ is reaming out your butt. With proper tools 1-1/2 hour tops to put back together
