How much will it cost me to rebuild a 13 sp fuller transmission?

Does that include labor, is it an Eaton reman

 

Depends on what shops you go to... plenty will advertise cheap... and they make it cheap by using imported Chinese components, re-using parts after "inspection" (looking at a gear doesn't tell you it's health entirely), and cutting corners.

I priced a genuine Eaton reman RTO16718A, rebuilt by Eaton themselves, not a secondary shop, transmission was $7500. Installation and R&R was going to run another $3,000 (doing it right, rear-main seal, new rear motor mounts, transmission mounts, rebuilt shift tower, new yokes if needed, reface the flywheel, and a brand new clutch).

Drove an RTLO18918B rebuilt by a secondary shop, "certified" by Eaton... rear bearings after 9-months were allowing so much play it wouldn't shift out of the high-range.

A genuinely high quality rebuild, with brand new, OEM components, and doing all of the necessary work, isn't going to be cheap. $7000-$10,000 depending on how far gone the transmission is. Make sure the shop you uses magnaflux's the case (checks for internal cracking), uses OEM components, and doesn't half-### by "inspecting" and re-using parts that "look okay".

 

If your going to do it, it's best to do it right like ColoradoGreen stated. Way better than doing it cheap twice.... Ends up the same either way, unless you've always been lucky rolling the dice.

 

We get our reman transmissions from Weller http://www.wellertruck.com/

Last year we bought an 18 speed for I think $4700 but it might have been less.
