If your vehicle is front wheel drive and has an automatic transmission and you have moderate mechanical skills, it should take you about 8 to 10 hours to replace the transmission. If your vehicle is a rear wheel drive vehicle it should take you between 5 to 7 hours to replace the automatic transmission.

It all depends on what you know and how fast you work of course. Assuming you have the right tools it can take on the average for me about 3-5 hours.

Replacing a transmission in any vehicle is a fairly time consuming project. The actual time it takes really depends on an individual vehicle, however, the average time to take one out and replace it with a new or refurbished one takes approximately 2-5 days on average.

IT all depends on what you know and how fast you are, and if you have the right tools. it takes me about 3 hours to pull and put one in(replaced about 15 trannys)and about 5 hours on a fwd. It may be a bit longer on the newer cars and trucks.

It would help to know if the transmission is manual or automatic. At any rate if you are a good mechanic one day. If a not so good mechanic figure two days.

DIY would take a few hours provided you have all the correct tools, parts, gaskets, and seals. A shop would take 2 days to a week, but average 4 days.
