Good morning everyone hope you all are having a good day. 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo V6 cheers to 216,910 miles. Transmission has reached its lifespan at this mileage to the point code P0731 and all the gears slam/bang violently especially in park doing a paddle shifter test to confirm the transmission was done for and yep all the gears bang/slam. The engine and suspension components are still in great condition so I figured why not continue the journey? What would be the better option rebuild or replace the transmission?
Modern automatic transmissions are extremely complex, typically beyond the capability of a local shop to rebuild properly. Your best bet would be a factory remanufactured transmission that carries a good warranty for both parts and labor.
However you are talking some pretty big $$$$ and need to take into consideration the possibility that despite being in good condition now you may well run into other expensive problems as that Jeep ages. Modern Jeeps do not have the greatest reliability or durability record.
