 Subject: Fix Tranny or Not?
IP: Logged
Message:
I have a 2000 Dakota 4x4 V8 4.7L that blew the
front transmission seal. It is at the dealer and
the dealer is saying that they have to replace the
front pump and the torque converter because seals
don't "just blow like that without a reason."
Dealer is saying the reason the seal gave way is
the bushings have gone bad in the pump which will
also tear up the torque converter...hence it all
needs to be replaced. I have had no major symptoms
of the converter going bad before the seal gave
way...no slippage or anything like that. I have
changed the transmission fluid about 2 years ago
so maintenance has always been on schedule. Dealer
wants an arm and a leg to fix it and I'm wary of
them ripping me off.
Anyone have an opinion?
Thanks!

Sounds to me if more than likely it's just more parts and labor coast that needs to be done. I remember I took my truck to the dealer due a knocking sound and engine vibration. They said it needs a tear down. But actually it just needed new plugs and gas treatment all coast was below 100 bucks.
So take you truck to a CERTIFIED TRANSMISSION SHOP and then get it fixed.

or dump it to someone that knows how to/wants to
tear it down and get something else or get a cheap
car and do the work yourself if you have a garage.
myself personally, im never getting rid of my
kota r/t, paid way to much for it in the first
place and I love it so I am fixing everything that
goes wrong myself I am 40 now so no new truck for
me,Maybe the new challenger but no new payments.
going to have to pry my cold dead body out of my
r/t wich I think my 17 year old nephew would
actually do he loves this truck as much as I do!
