[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s the estimate for the transfer case and transmission in our 2014 Range Rover LWB with 116,000 miles.

I want to scream. [/quote]

Actually that’s really not a bad price for the transmission AND the t-case, AND the labor.

The transmission (you said it’s an LWB, so a 5.0L supercharged V8 engine) should run about $9,500. The t-case for that transmission is about $6,000, leaving about $4,000 labor because it’s about a 16 hour job. Actually it sounds like the dealership might even be cutting you a break.

Here’s the reality - it’s a premium car. And premium cars command premium prices, and premium service, and premium maintenance prices. What did you pay for that car in ‘14? Probably somewhere around $115k, depending on interior options? Ok? So basically 1/6th of that for a new drivetrain? That’s pretty reasonable to me.

Because if less than $20k for a transmission and t-case on a Rover gets you this upset, you probably should be driving a lower-end vehicle. [/quote]

DP but my concern is why is a 2014 premium vehicle which is made to be driven roughly outdoors in rough terrain needing a whole transmission?  Shouldn’t it be made of tougher stuff?[/quote]

People who are driving vehicles in rough terrain outdoors for long periods of time don't drive Land Rovers, they drive Land Cruisers (Toyotas). [/quote]
