Greetings,
Does anyone know the flat rate (number of hours to complete the job, by the book) to remove and replace the transmission for a '98 Saturn Waggon (SW1)? Many thanks, -Ashley |

Were you going to take it to GM, a transmission chain, independent shop or do it yourself? Any professional shop has access to a flat rate subscription. Get a quote broken down by parts and labor. Take the labor value and divide by shop's hourly rate and you get hours. Flat rate hours assume correct tools are available. |

The GM warranty rate is what GM will pay for warranty work done by a dealer, it assumes correct equipment and no rusted or seized bolts. Repair flat rates are much more favourable to the mechanic/shop and not the customer. Few dealers would have given the non warranty customer the GM flat rate. Most good mechanics will beat the non warranty flat rate. I suspect that manual or auto transmission times will also vary as will other factors. Most will also want to use this as a good time to do other work such as clutch & release bearing inspection/replacement, and/or axle seals as well as any soon to be needed suspension or brake work. Good luck, YMMV |
