How long should transmission swap take on 2001 ford focus wagon?
I have a 2001 focus wagon that the transmission suddenly lost reverse after being towed… Anyhow i've bought a parts car for it and have been quoted for doing the transmission swap from the parts car… How many hours should something like that take? What would a fair price be from a common autoshop mechanic for labour only? Please and thank you!
Not a small job, entire front clip (suspension) has to come off, easier to rent hoist and pull engine/trans together, then separate. Great mech. W/ all tools/fixtures could do in 10 hrs, shop rates from $60-$100/ hr.
- 2001 Ford Taurus Engine Swap? I want to put in a new engine I was thinking a 3.8 v6 from a 95 taurus sho but I don't know if it would fit or a 4.6 v8 from a 2001 lincoln continential.
- Would a ford focus 2012 with 80k miles last a long time given that i treat it right and only take it within the city from and to work? As long as the car would last me 5 years minimum but i don't know jack about cars so if i could have an expert give me a diagnosis i would gladly appreciate it
- Why does the motor on my 2001 Ford Focus SE Wagon make a shuddering noise when I'm in idle? It sounds like it wants to stall but doesn't and my gas mileage is not good. The last mechanic put after market motor mounts on but it still does this. Any ideas? I love my little car with less than 65,000 miles on it and in good shape otherwise.
- Why does my 2001 Ford Focus SE Wagon have a vibration? I have new motor mounts, new dog bone mount in the rear, new plugs and wires, no check engine lights yet there's this "vibration" when I'm idling.
