How long does it take to put a transmission in?
So, I just dropped my car off at the mechanic a few hours ago to have a new transmission installed. How long does it usually take to put a new transmission into a car? I’m just wondering how long I’ll be without a car.

How long it takes to put a transmission in will depend on the type of transmission you have. For most cars, it should only take one to two days to install a transmission. For some late-model cars, however, it could take three or even four days.
In short, you should expect to be without your car for at least a couple of days. If the job still isn’t done after five business days, you may want to ask the mechanic what is causing the delay.
Fitting your car with a new transmission is a significant investment. You’ll want to make sure that your newly repaired vehicle is protected with quality
