What does a 2004 Toyota Sienna transmission replacement cost?

My car is a little older, but it’s always run pretty well—until recently, at least. The gears are so stiff when I start it up that sometimes, I have to resort to calling an Uber to get where I need to go. I think the problem is with the transmission; what does a 2004 Toyota Sienna transmission replacement cost?

A 2004
Toyota Sienna
transmission replacement costs between $5,452 and $5,872. This includes the cost of the actual new transmission ($4,645 to $4,981) and your
mechanic’s bill
($807 to $891).
But, just because there’s a problem with your Toyota’s transmission does not necessarily mean that getting it replaced is your only option. Before you begin panicking about the exorbitant cost of a replacement, have a mechanic take a look and make sure that problem isn’t something more minor (and affordable!). A transmission fluid leak, for example, costs only $300 to $400 to fix—a mere drop in the bucket compared to the sky-high cost of a full replacement.
Hopefully you won’t have to pay for a full replacement, though! But, if that’s your only option, we suggest you take a moment to crunch the numbers and take stock of the state of your car. It may not make financial sense to pour upwards of $5,000 into a vehicle that only has more breakdowns in its future.
It’s never fun to overpay for your vehicle’s expenses, whether fixing the transmission or equipping it with a great
car insurance
policy. And, while we can’t wave a magic wand and guarantee that you’ll never pay for a car repair again, the
