My 2013 Ford CMAX with 130,000 miles on it now has a very loud whine whenever gas engine is on. If it goes electric only, the whine disappears.
Ford dealer wants $1400.00 to open it up and inspect if, they think it is transmission.
To replace transmission is $8,400.00 parts and labor.
Car is worth $5,200.
Could I find someone to replace transmission with a rebuilt one (rebuilt trans is $2,700)
Thoughts?
