Hi, I have a 1998 Ford Ranger 4cy, 2wd, aprx 118,000 miles. It ran good before it stopped going into reverse. I was thinking about having the transmission replaced...then my son got into a front end accident. So now it's the transmission and front end work. Still goes fine...forward...
It's used as a secondary vehicle for my family. Any idea of the aprox cost to have the transmission replaced? Or the aprox price I could get if sold for parts? I live in upstate NY.
The body is really good except the front grill and the hood, (but I know someone who does body work) and the tires are like new.
Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank You-

As far as the trans, my guess would be around 1500.00+ to rebuild it. As far as the body repairs, I would need to see it to give you an idea. Most autobody shops will provide a free estimate.
