Gulp—that’s never good news, but because the Infiniti QX60 is such a great SUV, you may want to pay the price to fix the transmission rather than decide to buy a new(er) SUV. While the average cost for a replacement transmission typically runs between at least $2,000-$3,500, because the Infiniti is a luxury SUV, it will more likely be in the $6,000 to $7,000 range, depending upon the year of your Infiniti.
You should ask your mechanic whether rebuilding the transmission is an option. If it is, this approach will likely save you some money, as the table below indicates:

| 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. |
| 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. |
Be sure to check whether your QX60 is still covered under Infiniti’s 6-year/70,000-mile powertrain warranty. If it is, you may be able to have the transmission replaced free of charge.
Deciding whether an Infiniti QX60 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 Infiniti’s value? Should you start looking for a newer SUV? All these questions take time to find answers to.
