What is the average cost of a Ford Focus transmission replacement?

My friend's Ford Focus has been having issues with its transmission and it's looking like it might need to be replaced. He's been told it'll be expensive, but how expensive exactly can he expect it to be?

Transmission replacement can range anywhere from $1,800 to $3,400 depending on the model and year of your Ford Focus. It's important to get a few quotes from different mechanics to ensure you're getting the best deal.

I would highly recommend going to an independent mechanic as opposed to taking it to a dealership. I saved almost $1,000 by doing that for my Ford Focus's transmission replacement.

It really depends on where you live and where you take it to be replaced. Prices can vary greatly. I'd suggest doing some research and getting a few quotes before making a decision.
