How much does a 2008 Saturn Outlook transmission replacement cost?

I was in an accident recently that damaged my 2008 Saturn Outlook’s transmission—seeing as the damage is pretty severe, I figured it would make more sense to buy a new one rather than pay for repairs. How much does a 2008 Saturn Outlook transmission replacement cost?

On average, a 2008 Saturn Outlook transmission replacement will cost somewhere between $3,700 and $5,800, but the exact price will primarily depend on the parts you’re able to acquire and the actual auto shop you go to.
The bulk of what you’re paying for goes towards the replacement parts themselves—a remanufactured 2008 Saturn Outlook transmission generally sells for anywhere between $2,600 and $4,300.
If you’re willing to take a chance, however, you might be able to find a used transmission that fits your vehicle, in which case the overall cost will drop considerably—just know that there’s no guarantee that a used transmission will work perfectly.
The other $1,100 to $1,500 goes towards paying for the mechanic’s labor—after all, replacing a 2008 Saturn Outlook’s transmission isn’t exactly a small job, and even the best mechanics usually require at least a day to install the new parts.
Replacing your vehicle’s transmission is a big expense, but that doesn’t mean your
Saturn’s car insurance
has to be.
