Depends what is wrong with the transmission, and the condition. If it is something major like gears needing replaced ($250+), your looking at a lot more money. Possibly transmission fluid needs replaced for easier smoother shifting, which is no big deal ($5-10). Hopefully the whole thing will not need to be replaced or your looking at a few thousand dollars!
You have to drop the whole transmission pan, then refill from the transmission dipstick
Remove the transmission plug on the bottom of the transmission. The transmission fluid will drain out of the unplugged whole.
This would depend on whether you are looking for a used or new transmission. If you are looking for a new one, I would suggest contacting the vehicle manufacturer or a parts company such as AutoZone. If you are looking for a used transmission, websites such as Craigslist and Ebay can be very helpful. You can also call your local junkyards to see if they have the transmission you need.
You can find it by looking for the red handle coming from the transmission.
By looking at the meter
As you are looking into the engine bay from the front the transmission is on the back side of the engine about half way down.
no it is not , your looking approx. 8.5 hrs in and out to replace a probe transmission....
Unless you want to pay a whole lot for a transmission scanner, just bring it to a reputable transmission shop or dealer.
