How much does a Jeep Patriot transmission replacement cost?

My Jeep Patriot seems to be shaking more when I’m idling at stoplights, and sometimes it feels like it’s shifting hard between gears while I’m driving down the street. That means something might be wrong with my transmission, right? How much does a Jeep Patriot transmission replacement cost?

According to data from Kelley Blue Book, you could generally expect a Jeep Patriot transmission replacement cost to fall somewhere between $4,900 and $5,300 for both parts and labor.
Depending on the problem, however, it’s possible that you might not need a complete transmission replacement. If you just needed a transmission fluid change, for example, your costs would be dramatically lower—likely somewhere between $60 and about $250. Regardless, a failing transmission would constitute a serious safety issue, so you should have a mechanic look at your vehicle as soon as possible.
A standard car insurance policy wouldn’t typically cover transmission failures, but
mechanical breakdown coverage
might. Hopefully, if there is an issue with your Jeep Patriot that needs repair, it ends up being a low-cost one!
