Liberty auto gearbox

  Top of Page

I bought a 98 liberty from a dealer today and it appears to be a lemon. After driving it for 5 minutes the check engine light came on and the gear box is super clunky, both of which wasnt apparent two weeks earlier when I test drove it.
How much is a new auto box going to be? And how much is labour to get one changed?
Also, how muc is a driver side leather seat? the one that it came with is in pretty bad nick.

you can pick an auto box up from $300 plus, labour will depend on your mechanic, should take no more than 4 hours to do.
as for the seat, maybe consider spending on getting wrx bucket seats, IMO much better.

imo, bucket seats are great if you intend to flick your car around often.  For a daily, i'd probably stick to non-buckets if i were in your shoes. But thats just my personal preference.
