my tranny pooped out today
well, it's slipping going into second and making some nasty noises while in that gear.
so what have the people in the south been paying to have a tranny rebuilt. this couldn't have come at a more worse time. but then again, dont' everything like this always happen when your down and out

I know how you feel man. Mine broke fathers day weekend. It started slipping going into second, then my reverse went out. The shop i went to qouted me anywhere from $600-$1500 to have it fixed. Luckily it did not have to rebuilt. I forgot exactly what was changed in mine, but the guy said everything else was still good. It ended up costing me $800 to have it fixed. I really could have used that $800 for school or to do other things to my truck. Good luck with yours.

well, i have to lean on my mother in law right now to help me pay for it. I am about to start calling and getting prices. i did find a tranny online for 1400 that is fully built. with a 12 month warranty. so as of now i have to weigh all my options. thinking of it, i did have a guy quote me 1200 or so for a standard rebuild. damn these things are expensive.

John, I have spent $2600 on the first "really" built transmission, and $2700 on the second one..
(not including the Cottman fiasco
)
both Transmissions are Stage 2 racing Transmissions
