2004 Civic Hybrid Transmission Leak

Created February 4, 2010, at 11:43 pm by kenniswong

My 2004 Civic Hybrid has a transmission leak and the dealer said it needs a transmission replacement, which will cost about $4000.

That sounds like an excessive amount of money. Do transmission leak always require a transmission replacement? Is $4000 what I should expect?

My car has 104,000 miles on it. I am reluctant to put that kind of money to fix it...

Thanks,

If they're saying the transmission need replacement, it's likely irreversable damage caused by low CVT fluid level that's necessitating transmission replacement, not just the leak itself. Still, that's a lot of money involved, take it to another dealership if possible, see what they're diagnosis is, and if they concur regarding transmission replacement, get a quote from them for comparison.

BTW, is it driveable?
