I have a questions about transmission repair to my 2000 Sebring...I had
the transmission rebuilt about a year ago and according to the invoice
the solenoid pack was bad...thereafter I was charged $600 for the
solenoid assembly...are these 2 different things??? Should the
solenoid assembly have been replaced with the transmission? I don't
need a detailed response....I just want to know if these repairs make
sense...thanks. |

I am not sure if the "Solenoid Assembly" is the same thing as the
"Solenoid Pack". I never owned a Sebring, but when I had a 1994
Caravan with the A604, I had to replace the Solenoid Pack. That entire
job, including a trans fluid change and a new pan gasket, all taxes,
and labour was about $250 CDN$ at a reputable AAA/CAA approved trans
shop.
If you were charged $600 for a Solenoid Pack, then I would believe you
were seriously ripped off.
The solenoid pack is not normally (around here) included in the price
of the rebuild. A rebuild covers the re & re of the trans, a
reconditioned torque converter, and a strip-down and rebuild of the
"guts". Sensors and the like are also not included.
However, if you want to replace some of these, it should be MUCH
CHEAPER to do so while the trans is on the workbench and out of the
car!
Just curious, how much were you charged for the "rebuild"?? And
please, please, PLEASE tell me you did not get the work done at a
Chrylser Dealer!

When getting a rebuild, it is always as good idea to ask what new or
reconditioned parts it includes. From what I have seen the solenoid
pack and the input/output sensors will be re-used unless otherwise
specified. I agree, $600 sounds a lot for just a new solenoid pack,
even if it includes the labor.

Let's make this simple: If the repairs don't make sense to you, you've been
taken to the cleaners. Sorry  >> Stay informed about: transmission repair |

with a reputable trans shop it would have been but some just use the old
one and find out after the rebuild it was the real failed part

The rebuild was $2400 NOT at a dealership but a AAA approved shop and
included replacing a bad solenoid pack...10 mos later, which is now, I
was charged $600 for the solenoid assembly. Thanks for your response.
