estimate to replace 1997 Accord transmission

Can anyone estimate the cost to replace a transmission for a '97 Accord? A
general ballpark figure would be great. Thanks.

 

=======================

A few questions come to mind:

What kind of tranny?
What country?
Who said it has to be replaced, and what are the symptoms / mileage /
service history?

'Curly'

 

In the U.S., Texas, to be specific. It's an automatic, and I'm thinking
about buying it from a private party. The current owner just says that
the "tranny is going out," so maybe it needs to be rebuilt and not
replaced. I'm trying to figure-in the repair cost to the price.

 

====================

Still doesn't answer a couple of the important questions, like:

Do you (secretly) think you can get the tranny fixed cheap, and you're
willing to take the chance?

Do you know if he had it serviced at BooBoo Lube, and they've used
non-Honda fluid (and actually wrecked it after xxx,000 miles)?

Have you asked the Dealer where he takes it whether he's had all recalls
performed?

What's the mileage?

Any chance he towed a trailer in the texas heat?

(I don't actually know what a tranny swap would cost at Honda, but you
could phone two or three dealers for a quote)

Rebuilt = $3000
replaced = $2500 if you can find a good used one.

 

You're looking at close to $2,500 for installation and the rebuild.

You can confirm this by calling any transmission shop and ask what it would
cost to remove, rebuild and replace your tranny.
