What does a 2017 GMC Sierra transmission replacement cost?

My sister let me borrow her GMC Sierra while she was out of town. It randomly died, and I had to have it towed back to her house. My friend thinks it's the transmission! I feel terrible. How much does a 2017 GMC Sierra transmission replacement cost?

Oh no! I think that’s one of the worst things that can happen when borrowing something. A 2017
GMC Sierra
transmission replacement will likely cost between $4,500 and $6,500.
Those numbers are shocking, but the transmission is a key part of a vehicle. Since it helps move power from the car’s engine to the wheels, the car isn’t moving without one! If you can’t afford to replace the transmission on your sister’s Sierra, consider looking at prices for rebuilding it. Often, replacing parts of the transmission is significantly cheaper than replacing the entire unit.
Additionally, you’ll want to check with a few mechanics before letting your sister know how much it’ll cost. Rates vary depending on the shop and where you live, so shopping around for estimates is a great way to ensure you’re getting the best price.
Another way to get back on your sister’s good side? Showing her the
