Well, could get a used one. But who know's what it's been through. O haave it done at the shop and get a warranty with it and know it's fixed right. But for sure there is something internal wrong there. Lol

The price you were given sounds right.

ok...i found a shop that will do a complete rebuild w/labor for $1500...w/1 year warranty........the other place was going to give me a 3 yr warranty but for $2672! they r crazy and that was even w/15% off! :th_laugh-lol2:

I would bet the cheaper quote is cheaper because they plan on not replacing as much. Basically just fixing what is broke, which is a big no-no when dealing with trannys.

^^^Yes. Take the deal for the 3yr warranty.
