What’s a 2017 Chevy Silverado transmission replacement cost?
My wife and I just had twins, expanding our family to five. We’re in the market for an SUV, and I just saw an incredible price for a Silverado—-but it needs a new transmission. I need to know whether it's worth the price. What’s a 2017 Chevy Silverado transmission replacement cost?

The transmission replacement cost for a Chevy Silverado starts at around $5,000+ for a new transmission. You might ask the owner or dealer whether the Silverado is still under warranty (which is doubtful but worth the ask). Another option might be to shop around to see what local mechanics would charge for rebuilding the transmission. You might find this a less expensive route.
Review this chart below, which compares transmission replacement vs. a transmission rebuild.
Type of repair | Details | 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. |
When you’re researching a used SUV, finding out what it will cost to repair an SUV is important. This is especially true when the cost will run you $5,000 or more—will you be able to afford the repair? Is it worth it?
