Its 4000$ to replace the tranny in our Ford Escape, most newer vehicles will have similar, outrageous prices. I couldnt even find a used one for less then 3000.

1700.00 for a used one from a quick look online for that vehicle. At less than 60 per hour labor cost, and around a 6 to 8 hour job (if that) Id say he could get it done for much less than 3k. Shop around folks. Personally after doing some reading on that particular model I would dump it and get someone new. Seem a lot of them had issues with the Radiator leaking into the transmission. And that seems to be one of the major causes for the transmission failures. No recalls that I could find though.
