This CD4E is from 2L mazda 626. rebuild was already made 6 years ago for 2450$ rebuild plus labor
the car run aprox. 25000 miles and transmission broke again... the transmission fluid pump went bad... when i took transmission out from mazda 626 i bring it to the shop .... the shop estimated me 950$ for parts and 500$ labor ... Total cost is 1450$ + I have to install transmission back myself... ( if to pay somebody to do it it's additional 600$)
1450+600..... Cool price 2050$..... You can buy another car for this money!!!
In my opinion for this 1997 mazda 626 it's better not do it because after rebuild the warranty is only 24000 miles....
This CD4E sooner or latter will go bad again!!! It doesn't matter how good you will rebuild it..
If you have a huge amount of time you can go to the junker and pull tranny out for 170$.. there is no warranty when you will install junker transmission because maybe the vehicle from witch you pull this transmission was junked because of transmission issue.
