Transmission Repair Costs

[Joe Burkard]

Team Sea Ray,

I have a 1998 Sea Ray 44 Express Bridge. Can anyone give me a sense of what it would cost to rebuild or replace a transmission? Engines are 3126 CATs. Thank you!

Joe

I'm afraid I can't help with your question, but I will suggest that putting your location in your profile will help you get a more accurate answer for your immediate need.
Such pricing could vary widely across the geography this board covers.

I just had two rebuilt over the winter. It was more of a T&M ordeal. One needed an output shaft (+550) in addition to the clutch pack. They were also upgraded to the new pump and solenoid setup (+1150 each side) also replaced the Dampers (+1000 each) and the oil coolers (+600 each). I didn't add it all up but I am thinking about $7500 per side. The engines were also removed so the labor was built into that work. -------

New. If they are the HURTH HSW800 gears there are issues with the countershaft. The ZF 85IV corrected that issue. If it's your port gear that crapped the bed then you are a victim of the weak case around the countershaft bearings.
Gear will be around $5500 and as you have an Express Bridge the labor will be quite high.
I'd budget $10K. That would include pulling the shaft, replacing cutlass bearing and shaft log. Essentially baselining the boat's running gear on that side.

Thanks...I think That's pretty consistent with what I'm being told.
