What’s a Hummer H3 transmission replacement cost?

My mechanic just told me that my SUV, which I’ve owned for more than a decade, needs a new transmission. What’s a Hummer H3 transmission replacement cost?

Oh no, needing a new transmission is always bad news—at least when it comes to cost! Still, it sounds as if your Hummer H3 has served you well, so that cost may well be worth it. A replacement transmission will likely be in the neighborhood of $2,000-$3,500, but you may be able to save some money by having the tranny rebuilt instead.
The table below will provide you with some pros and cons of the different approaches:

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.
Ask your mechanic what they think.
Deciding whether a Hummer H3 transmission replacement is worth the cost can wind up taking more time than you first anticipated. Is rebuilding the transmission an option? Is the cost of a replacement transmission more than your Hummer’s value? Should you start looking for a newer SUV? All these questions take time to find answers to. And eventually, you’ll need the money, of course.
