What’s a Ford Focus transmission replacement cost?
My trusty Ford Focus has a bad transmission—again. What’s a Ford Focus transmission replacement cost?
Rachel Rigolino · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Depending on your model year, a Ford Focus transmission replacement can commonly run between $3,500 and $5,000.
When deciding whether to replace your Focus’s transmission with a new one, a rebuilt one, or just buy a new car, take a look at these pros and cons:
Options | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
Transmission replacement | If a transmission is severely damaged:, your mechanic will recommend a transmission replacement. | This repair may be more costly than the value of your Focus. |
Transmission rebuild | If the transmission is salvageable but needs repair: The mechanic will work with the existing transmission and rebuild it. This is most ideal if the cost is less than a complete transmission replacement or the total value of your Ford Focus. | If the price is close to a transmission replacement cost, or exceeds your car’s value, it may not be worth it. |
New car | Will come not only with a newer transmission but also other components that are newer than the ones you have in your current car. | Feasibility of buying a new or used car depends on your budget. Find out whether your Focus has any trade-in value or whether you can get a tax write-off for donating it to a charity. |
Before you make any decisions: You’ll want to see whether your Focus is covered under your warranty. Ford typically offers a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty on the Focus.
