How much does a manual transmission synchro replacement cost?

I drive a car with manual transmission, and I can feel when I drive lately that it’s shifting a lot rougher now. Could that be due to the synchro? How much does a manual transmission synchro replacement cost?

If you’ve noticed rougher shifting, it’s possible that it could be connected to the synchronizer. If that’s the case, you could generally expect a manual transmission synchro replacement to cost between $1,500 and $2,000.
The ultimate manual transmission synchro replacement cost for you will likely depend on several different factors, like:
  • Your vehicle’s make and model
  • The cost of the replacement synchronizer
  • Labor costs in your area
  • How long the synchro replacement takes
Could your car insurance help with manual transmission synchro replacement costs? It depends on your policy and whether damage was caused by a covered incident.
A standard car insurance policy wouldn’t typically cover transmission failures, but
mechanical breakdown coverage
might.
All that said, you should have a mechanic take a look at your vehicle to figure out what your rough shifting is actually connected to. It could be possible that if there is a problem, it ends up being a cheaper fix than a synchro replacement.
Best of luck! If this experience leaves you deciding you want to make changes to your current car insurance policy,
