Is $500 in labor costs fairly accurate and fair for rebuild or replacement of a Transmission? ---

It could be in your location or the type of shop you are using . Shouldn’t you be concentrating on the entire invoice ? Or just get other estimates . ---

No, you won’t get a transmission replaced for $500. To have a rebuilt transmission installed would cost $3000 to $5000. ---

The labor to replace the transmission (w/AWD) is 8.6 hours, 6.2 hours for front wheel drive. The labor to rebuilt the transmission is 15.4 hours. ---
