What does a 2005 Cadillac DeVille transmission replacement cost?

I’ve been driving my uncle’s old Cadillac for years and have never had any major issues with it. Recently, though, the gears have become nearly impossible to change and I’m told that the problem is with the transmission. What does a 2005 Cadillac DeVille transmission replacement cost?

You’re correct in thinking that the problem is likely with the transmission. A 2005
Cadillac DeVille
transmission replacement costs between $3,429 and $4,191 for parts and labor.
If your vehicle is older, like yours is, and you think it may be on its last leg, it may not make much financial sense to replace the transmission. In some cases, it may be cheaper, in the long run, to trade it in for a newer vehicle, or at least one with fewer breakdowns on its horizon.
To avoid overpaying your vehicle’s repair expenses, get a second opinion from a mechanic about whether or not you need a full transmission replacement. In many instances, you can fix the transmission instead of getting an entirely new one. Fixing a transmission fluid leak, for example, only costs between $300 and $400.
