So sorry to hear the bad news! You didn’t say what year your Ford E350 is, but based on average costs, the transmission replacement cost for a Ford E350 will likely run you between $4,000 to $5,000 for a new transmission. You may want to consider a rebuild, which should be less expensive.
Take a look at this chart below, which compares the two approaches:

Pros and Cons
Transmission replacement
If a transmission is severely damaged, you’re probably looking at a transmission replacement. Your mechanic will replace your damaged transmission with one that’s been refurbished at the factory.
Because it is coming from the factory, the transmission is updated to the pre-built factory specifications, but it will cost more than having the transmission rebuilt.
Transmission rebuild
In this case, the mechanic will work with the existing transmission and rebuild it.
As long as the mechanic is knowledgeable, this can be a great option as it will be less expensive than a replacement. However, it does take time, so plan for this and know that you will be paying for the mechanic’s time and expertise.
But first, be sure that your transmission is not covered under your warranty. Ford offers a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty on the E350.
Getting bad news from your mechanic is never fun. Expensive repair bills can set you back. One way to save money to pay for replacing a transmission or for any other expensive repair is by doing some comparison shopping for
