How much does a 2016 Nissan Sentra transmission replacement cost?
The transmission in my 2016 Nissan Sentra just died. Now, I’m not sure what to do. I’ve heard you can replace a transmission, but I have no idea whether I could afford that or not. What does a 2016 Nissan Sentra transmission replacement cost?

Here are some factors that influence the cost:
- Location: Both your place of residence as well as the specific shop you choose to perform the repair can influence the cost of your Nissan Sentra’s transmission replacement.
- New vs. rebuilt transmissions: If you choose to replace your Sentra’s transmission with a brand-new one, you can expect your costs to be closer to the top of that price range. Rebuilt or remanufactured transmissions are used options that typically cost less to purchase.
- Complexity: There’s no way around this one—a transmission replacement is a labor-intensive job that requires removing your car’s dead transmission and setting a new one in its place, which can take several hours to perform. That’s one of the major reasons this type of service costs so much.
Pro tip: Before deciding on the first mechanic you see, make sure you shop around and get quotes from at least three shops. Doing so ensures you’re paying a fair price for the replacement if you decide to move forward with it.
