The damage depends on which Pulsar and which gearbox you’re cursing at.
For a CVT automatic, a used or reconditioned unit typically lands around $2,500–$4,500 fitted; a brand-new OEM transmission can blow past $6,000–$9,000.
Older conventional autos usually rebuild for about $2,500–$4,000, while a manual clutch-only job is roughly $900–$1,800 and a gearbox rebuild can hit $1,800–$3,500.
A basic service or fluid change is the cheap bit at roughly $200–$400, assuming it’s not already full of metallic glitter.
Hunt around—used boxes often pop up on Tradingpost—which can slash the bill; just verify the donor car’s kilometres and any warranty.
