Replacing your 2010 Ford Explorer’s transmission is going to be pretty expensive—the average cost usually falls between $5,850 and $6,300, though the exact cost will largely depend on the auto repair shop you go to and the available parts.
Most of what you’re paying for goes towards the replacement parts themselves—a remanufactured 2010 Ford Explorer transmission typically sells anywhere from $4,100 to $4,400.
The other $1,750 to $1,900 goes towards paying for the mechanic’s labor—after all, replacing a vehicle’s transmission is a big job, and even professionals may require several days to complete the procedure.
