The answer to this question depends on what
you intend to do with your car. If you intend to do even a "little" drag racing then I would go with a performance built transmission. Jegs offers a TCI "street fighter" tranny for about $750. If the car is strictly going to be used as a "grocery-getter" or just driven to car shows then a local may be able to rebuild yours for considerably less.

First you have to define "completley" and "rebuilt". Have seen prices ranging from $150 to near $1000 for "rebuilt" TH400's. A complete and correctly prepaired unit will contain a full set of bushings, thrust washers, both bands, seals, sealing rings, steels, frictions, shift kit, sprag(s), and an early drum if needed for the front 34 element hp sprag. All of the hardparts need to pass inspection and the planetaries replaced or rebuilt as needed. It takes about $300-$500 to purchase all the needed parts plus the labor to prepare the unit.
Most transmission shops just buy a seal kit (about $20) and stack the unit with nicely used steels/frictions/bands they have laying around. You may get a front and sometimes a rear bushing, their shift kit is usually shimming the PR spring and drilling the separator plate. Have seen shops build them for as little as $150....Cliff

I used to charge $350, and would profit only $100.
That's the hobby level of "no overhead expenses". Much effort, and attention to detail goes into the rebuild, regardless of who is doing the work. A fair price is $550, for a cleaned case rebuild. Prices above that are gonna feature advanced parts or programming. Converter is always a separate expense, and a higher reliability risk..

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
