Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Transaxle Replacement tranny update

So the last time I posted was about my tranny going out, and the fact that I had to get it replaced. All in all the cost of the replacement with labor and parts included was about $2285.78. They got the tranny replaced really quick, in a couple days, then I had it back. I picked the car up, and the first thing I notice is that my engine is running rough and the transmission is making a clicking noise while it's in gear. I take it right back to them within an hour of picking it up.

I got a call today saying that the brand new tranny that they just put in has to be replaced. Thank god for warranties.

So yeah. I won't get my 'tour back until monday or tuesday. blah!

Sounds like the same experience I had. After first pick up, I had it back in their hands within 5 minutes; Bad TC. Second pick-up; Another bad TC, back in their hands again within 5 mintues. Third pick-up; Blowen TC seal, after driving for two days and 300 miles. Fourth pick-up; Another blowen TC seal, this time I held the car for a week and I eventually burnt up the forward clutch pack and the TC (yeah, I did it just for fun!). Fifth and final pick-up; They had to replace the rack n pinion, as well as rebuild the entire tranny.


Three months later, I had driven up the 12,000 mile warrenty. Gotta love quailty work!!


Best of luck to ya!
