Replacing a transmission is a costly task, especially for a 2009 Ford Escape. The price can range from $4,000 to $6,000 when done by a mechanic. However, if you're willing to take on the challenge, you can purchase a used transmission for $500 to $1,000 or a remanufactured one for up to $3,400. Keep in mind that the process involves significant labor, typically taking 12 to 18 hours at a garage. If you're not a professional, expect to spend even more time. While it's possible to save money by using used parts, it will require a substantial time commitment. Consider enlisting friends and turning the project into a weekend (or two) endeavor.
If your transmission needs to be replaced as per the recommended repair cost estimate, it typically costs between $1800 and $3400 on average.
