Well it finlly happened,I lost my tranny. I got 206792 miles on it .the tranny was all stock and just read my sig for all the other stuff i've done to it
I was about $3500 by the time I had it rebuit, bought a good TC ($1000), fluid ($250), deep trans pan ($150), and cooler w/fan ($225)
I should add that I did the install myself.
If you want an idea on transmission prices try atsdiesel.com
Last time I visited his shop, one of Brian's "wonder-boxes" was about $3700 installed, less if your tranny is not yet in "paperweight" status. He can ship you a tranny, but I think the price is the same.
