Tranny for 2000 4WD

[ccvortex]

Any idea what it should cost me to replace or rebuild the tranny for a model year 2000 4WD 6CYL?

146k miles and the guy wants 1800 for it, tranny slips between 2nd and 3rd.

Needs new bumpers too, rust.

Depends. I picked one up for $650, and did the install myself just this past week. You can get a reman for $1770 online, and get $300 back when you send your old one back. To have someone rebuild it would most likely be around $1500-$2000.

So I'd be looking at somewhere between 3800 and 4300 for the truck with a rebuilt tranny and 146k miles on the motor/truck... Have never bought one this old, does that seem like a reasonable amount for a 2000 4WD that needs bumpers too?

The wife is driving our 2006 now so I am looking for an older beater.

I wouldn't pay that much if it needs a new transmission and bumpers from the start. You'll also want to check the frame for rust since you're in a high salt area.

Eh, that's kind of what I figured, but it's very difficult to find a 4WD here in San Antonio. We're stationed here until December (US Navy) and this truck was just driven down from NH by an Army guy I know.

With how stout the transmissions are on our 4runners. I would question him if something else was wrong with it. Maybe something along the lines of a strawberry milkshake. Our transmissions will last a long time, a lot longer than 146k. Check out the radiator, does it look new?

Strawberry milkshake?
EDIT: never mind, I see what that means, I'll look when I get the chance.

Id say 1500 or a little lower if the interior and the rest of the body is clean, 146 is on the lower side for miles. May want to do a carfax check on it as well
