What’s a 2008 GMC Acadia transmission replacement cost?
A few weeks ago, I began having trouble with slipping gears. I tried a DIY transmission flush, but that didn’t help. Now, I think I may need a new transmission. What’s a 2008 GMC Acadia transmission replacement cost?

Expect to pay between $2,400 to $3,300 for a 2008
GMC Acadia
transmission and about $5,000 for installing the transmission. Be sure to ask your mechanic whether you can get away with rebuilding your Acadia’s transmission. As the chart below suggests, this is a less expensive option. However, you’ll want to be sure to work with a professional who knows their way around a GMC transmission.Type of repair | Details | Pros and Cons |
|---|---|---|
Replacing a transmission | Your vehicle will require a transmission replacement if it is damaged severely. While this is more costly repair than a rebuild, you will know your damaged transmission will be replaced with a factory refurbished one. | When a transmission comes from the factory, it likely means it has been updated to pre-built factory specs. |
Rebuilding a transmission | Rebuilding a transmission is a good option, as long as the damage is not too severe and you have a knowledgeable mechanic skilled with transmissions. | While rebuilding may be less expensive than replacing a transmission, be sure your mechanic is comfortable with GMC transmissions. Keep in mind that taking apart and rebuilding a transmission takes time—and money. |
