Transmission housing cracked :(

[edman98]

Our 2015 Kia went through the wiring harness recall, BMS reprogram and battery replacement. Has been running great though we heard humming noise. Having this looked at, hoping was was low on gear oil, but found a cracked transmission housing.

Have a recommendation, in Orange County California, for a transmission shop that replaces transmissions on an EV? An estimate of what this would run? Thanks!

Ouch! Any idea how this happened?

Just the part is $2,848.02 :- Gear Assembly - Kia (44500-18410) - 2015-2019 Kia Soul EV

Here's one for 5000 Euros. :- New Transmission on 2016 Soul EV
On your previous thread there's one from Canada for $4000Cad :- 2015 Soul EV Transmission Flush?

Looks like the lowest auto wrecker's price is currently $1800 at car-part.com, so I'd be inclined to go for a new replacement.

Anyone have referrals to a shop in Southern California that can do a EV transmission swap? Generally, can any/ICE transmission shop do this?
