This includes whining noises, difficulty shifting gears, leaky transmission fluid, and so many other bad symptoms you can’t tolerate for too long.
How is the crankshaft pulley connected to the engine?
There is one mechanical system called a crankshaft pulley which helps distribute this engine power to other systems. The crankshaft pulley is connected to the crankshaft, which is a device that transforms the pistons’ linear motion into rotational motion.
How much does it cost to replace a crankshaft pulley?
Replacement Cost. The cost to replace a bad crankshaft pulley is anywhere from $350 to $400. The cost of labor is around $150 to $180 and the cost of parts is around $200 to $220. It is not the most expensive replacement job, but it is not too cheap either.
