because if you do rebuild it, and it fucks up, you will have to replace all that shit again.....you need to not look at what it costs in the inital outset, but look at the long term (if that is a term that DSM'ers use
)
if i can, i will try to check with some local wrecking yards and see what they have. you tried calling IAR in salem? or Old Dominion?
Thats why I was asking for anyone whos willing with tranny experience, and I guess I forgot to include "and has the equipment needed".
I've taken the bell housing appart from a 90' awd tranny. thats as far as i've gone. my friend did the rest in front of me.
at shep for close to 900$ + shipping I can have mine rebuilt
tre sells brand new ones for like $2400 w/ free shipping.
I'm trying to spend right at $1,000 or less. I dont plan on taking this DSM past 400whp.
and I've never heard of those junk yards before. the one's here really suck, but then again I live on a red neck beach with nothin but broncos and escalades and explorers and crap ass land rovers that I always see stuck getting towed out lol.
