A Chevy Cruze transmission replacement costs between $4,683 and $5,053. You can expect to pay between $3,758 and $4,030 for the part alone and an additional $925 and $1,023 for the mechanic’s labor.
Transmission replacements are wildly expensive—in fact, replacing a car’s transmission is widely considered one of the most expensive car repairs. So, before you jump the gun and start calling up different mechanics in your area to see if they have extra transmissions in stock, have a mechanic check to see if they can repair it first. If the issue is just a small leak, a mechanic can fix that and it will cost a fraction of the replacement price—only between $150 and $300 total.
