Does anybody know how much it would cost for an auto box rebuild

I've dealt with Gearbox Solutions in Liverpool in the past.

Would recommend.

Hey - found this old post and was wondering how did you go? I am having a similar issue with an auto gearbox on a 2001 Caravelle and am tossing around the idea of a rebuild or manual conversion

On a T4 I was told back in 2001 that a new one was around $12k but there could be some places who will do it for less , apparently the VW dealer here in Brisbane used to send theirs to a company in Melbourne for rebuilding . Whilst a manual would be cheaper there would need to be some problems with the electronics and then adding another pedal clutch lines and shifter all possible though . Maybe look into buying a write off in manual and swapping out the runnnning gear if not damaged in the front too much , I did this with my sons T4 I converted it from a 2.4 diesel to a 2.5 petrol . Bought one on Ebay with a bid of $3600 picked up the van in Coffs Harbour and drove it back to Brisbane , swapped all the engine and other bits in to sons van and then refitted the diesel stuff into the ebay van did some tidying up with interrior and some small paint jobs and stuck it back on Ebay and got $5500 !

My previous T4 was an auto. & while it was trouble free I do remember to have one rebuilt at the time [pre 2008] was around $6000. I don't remember if that included removal. The company recommended at the time was in Melbourne.

I recently had a auto trans failure on my 2001 t4 and had my car towed to A&B Automatics as they were always considered the experts on repairing these.I was told they no longer repair these as they are getting to old and parts are getting harder to source.The minimum charge for a full recondition used to be about $6000.Luckily I found a gearbox that they had fully reconditioned and installed that in my van but there's always a big question mark as to how long these transmissions will last.
