What’s a 2017 Nissan Altima transmission replacement cost?

My car wasn’t shifting smoothly, so I took it to my mechanic. He just called me with the bad news: the transmission is damaged and needs to be replaced. He quoted me a price, but what’s an average Nissan Altima transmission replacement cost?

The transmission replacement cost for a Nissan Altima starts at around $3,500+ for a new transmission. If you’re not still under Nissan’s 5-year/60,000-mile warranty (and you don’t have the 10-year/120,000-mile warranty offered on some Nissan vehicles), you may want to ask your mechanic whether your transmission can be rebuilt or repaired.
This chart provides a quick overview of your options.

Details
Replacing a transmission
Replacing your transmission will mean installing a new or refurbished transmission from the factory.
Rebuilding a transmission
This process can be done if the damage is not too severe. It involves taking apart the transmission and replacing all the worn parts.
Repairing a transmission
This option is possible only if there is very minimal damage. Your mechanic will replace a part in your transmission—but it still requires several hours of work.
We all want our vehicles to work optimally. That’s one reason Altima owners research shifting problems and replacing transmissions. When you’re on a budget—and who isn’t?—you’ll want to do enough research to figure out whether the cost is worth the results. Doing research is necessary, but it takes time.
