The car I keep around for my teenage kid's is getting a bit long of tooth (1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee 300,000 miles).
A friend has a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee (4.7 V8 4X4 Auto Trans 150,000 miles) she wants to sell ... since the transmission puked about 6 weeks ago. She bought a new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and parked the old one on the curb. I plan to offer her Kelly Blue Price less the cost to replace the transmission. What is a guestimate of the cost to replace the transmission? I plan on making my teenage kids help me install a rebuilt or used transmission ... or walk to school ... their choice. Thanks, Eddie |

About 3K. My 2001 has the inline 6, so a different tranny in that. I have 247K on stock everything but front wheel bearing hubs. I would stay away from the 4.7, especially the early ones like that. First model year with those was '99. They have too thin of a cylinder wall, so the oil gets hotter and sludges up. When it does, it plugs the tiny pickup screen and starves the engine of oil, rather quickly too. Do a search, it's well documented.
Other known issues, window regulators, heater control systems ( limited model), front pinion yoke. 99 and 2000 were the bigger of the problem childs. By 2001 they made some improvements, 02 through 04 were great. I love my Jeep, and has been rode hard, but still going. |
