I recently made a post about my RPMs dropping and in the event that I might need a new transmission I kind of want to get a good idea of how much I should pay for it. I have a 2003Toyota Sequoia sr5 4wd I called a junkyard in my area and they were offering one for $800 I believe that’s a little high. Now it is a 4wd so for some of reason those guys charge more for those even online. BUT I’ve seen one for 400$ online not considering the 200$shipping. What should I expect to pay? ---

Don’t buy a used transmission on line. Buy it locally. I know people who’ve bought used vehicle parts on line and got burned. And if there’s a problem with the used part, you can deal with the person who sold it to you directly. Tester ---

You were lucky to even find a used transmission for this 21 year old vehicle. If you really want to keep this on the road have a rebuilt from a real transmission shop put one in with some kind of warranty . ---

No way would I buy a _used_ transmission from a junkyard for a vehicle this old. It may not work in the first place, and is even _more_ unlikely to have enough useful life remaining to justify the cost and effort. If the rest of the vehicle is in good condition, I’d pay a reputable transmission shop to **properly** rebuild my transmission. If not, then I’d sell it “as-is” on Craigslist and go buy something else. For a 15+ year old vehicle, I’d only buy a used engine or transmission if I was planning to replace all of the seals and gaskets _at a minimum_. ---

I did t read the other post but why would decreasing rpm’s at higher speed mean a transmission issue. Usually with slipping clutches it would be increased rpm’s and not going anywhere. ---

> [@bing](#): > > I did t read the other post but why would decreasing rpm’s at higher speed mean a transmission issue. Usually with slipping clutches it would be increased rpm’s and not going anywhere. And why would someone be willing to spend that much on replacing a transmission (parts and labor). Not knowing if that’s the problem to begin with. Yet they refuse to pay a lot less for a proper diagnosis. I telling you folks, “Idiocracy” the movie, is looking closer and closer to reality. ---

What about the Idiocracy of assuming just because a person ask a question on a forum that they are about to replace a whole transmission without consulting a professional. ---

What difference does it make? I’m not replacing a transmission before I do
