Transmission Failure

[PopcornAndData]

We just got the news that the transmission in our 2016 Soul Ev has failed. The indications were a substantial leak and a clunking when the wheels were turned. The quote for replacement is $5236 parts + $1900 labor + tax. We learned of this when taking it in for a brake issue. (Another ~$700 quoted for full service on those.)

I would conclude that the car must be basically scrap given that it has over 100k miles, but the battery was just replaced, so yeah ... hope springs eternal, as they say. I'm mulling my options.

Any sage advice, wisdom or anything other than insults will be appreciated. ;-)

Thanks!

I've been there, done that. See https://www.mykiasoulev.com/threads/2015-soul-ev-transmission-flush.2074/#post-14980

If you can source the part at a better price try to find a local shop that will take on the replacement.
