They don't make em like they used to! The industrial grade paragons have enough iron to make two new transmissions these days. They can be rebuilt and last another umpteen years. The price seems to be pretty much in line, as the smaller units are known for running $750 to rebuild. It depends on what all is being replaced, and with the the big tranny, if you are replacing internal plates, then that's not an unusual price. I'm sure it can be done for less, in shops that do this frequently as a routine, but we all have to remember, these things are heavy, it takes work, and the labor alone that it takes to handle them into the shop, rebuild them, handle them again for shipping (and of course, the rebuild parts) make up the total charges for working on this iron.
