[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What your not getting is the advice you need here.

1. Autozone is showing rebuilt 3/36 transmissions for a 2016 Buick Enclave for around $2800.  Now you're not going to buy one from Autozone but that gives you a bench mark.

2. On Tuesday after the holiday, call Jasper Transmissions.  (Just google them).  And ask for a price for a Transmission for your car.  Their a solid rebuilding company with a nationwide warranty.  (I have personally bought engines from them).   Once you have the price, you can have any shop that works with Jasper order and install.

3. Given the Auto zone price, and I would estimate you should be able to put a fully rebuilt trans with warranty in your SUV for $4800.
I would do that over a repair.    And you're good to go for a bunch of years.

Yes it's not cheap, but it's a vehicle you own, assuming it's paid off? It's a lot cheaper them buying a new car.  One of the biggest things people don't realize now is fluid changes are really important in Transmissions.   Honda has known problems with the CVT units that must have fluid changes at 20K to not detonate.  Their SUVs have Transmissions issues hat required 3 fluid flushes and changes at one time to keep them working.    It's just what it is.

I am not the OP but thank you for taking the time to post and share your knowledge.
