Re: 6 speed rebuild how long (UNFORGIVEN)
The first time mine went in it took 21 days.....
Just make sure they give you a rental. It wasn't until day 20 I found out I could get a car...vette owners get rentals when their car is in for service!
Once I got the rental, it was strange....my car was done the next day!
Also it is important that you took it to a reputable dealer. Not just anyone can rebuild these transmissions. I got mine back and immediately noticed a problem!!!!!!! 2 days later it froze up and stuck in gear!
I took it to another dealer (corvette specialized), and without hesitation they put a brand new tranny in and did it in less then 24 hours. In at 6:00PM out by 3:00PM the next day!

Re: 6 speed rebuild how long (z0sense)
I dunno about the whole process but the actual rebuilding only takes like a day once you have the transmission out.
The dealership took like a week to do mine and gave me a very low rate on a rental.
Then I had a friend rebuild it and he had it ready 2 days after he picked it up.

Re: 6 speed rebuild how long (kumar75150)
3 days max. A day's worth of work to remove/reinstall (1 each), and a day to rebuild it.
I imagine someone proficient could do the whole thing in a day, but it would probably take them the WHOLE day, know what I mean?
I couldn't possibly understand why it would take longer than 5 business days for a dealer to do it, unless they are way behind or incompetent.

Re: 6 speed rebuild how long (Dope)
Don't feel to bad man..... I think my dealer has parts delivered by horse and buggy... I gave them my car a couple of days before the end of January, and they still have it.. They are doing a few other things, fuel pump, clutch, oil pressure sender, etc.. They couldn't get the right parts ordered at first, so it is taking longer.... It sucks, but hopefully I will get it back in the next few days......

I will not say how long it has taken but the parts are on a slow boat from China :mad
Have to ask about a rental because I was offered a cavalier thats about 8 years old :crazy:
Thanks for the help
