Pros and Cons
Transmission replacement
Any time a transmission is severely damaged, it will likely require a full transmission replacement. This means that your mechanic will replace your damaged transmission with one that has been refurbished at the factory.
This is a good option for people whose transmissions are too damaged to rebuild. Because it is coming from the factory, the transmission is updated to the pre-built factory specifications. It will probably be more costly than a rebuild.
Transmission rebuild
In this case, the mechanic will work with the existing transmission and rebuild it.
As long as the mechanic is knowledgeable, this can be a great option as it will be less expensive than a replacement. However, it does take time, so plan for this and know that you will be paying for the mechanic’s time and expertise.
Unfortunately, the 2016 Nissan Altima is known for having issues with its transmission. Talk to your mechanic about your next move.
When your mechanic says your Altima’s transmission is bad and needs to be replaced, you may be surprised. The repair may bust your monthly budget, but
