So I have spent the last half hour reading through all the transmission threads to get an idea of what I am going to be paying. I was leaving my apt and my 97 3.0 just died. I put it in neutral started it back up and continued to the dry cleaners. It happened again on the way back, but I still made it home fine.

I spend most of my time in the ramblings section of azine but I was well aware that it was only a matter of time . . So the next trip I make will be to the shop to have my transmission rebuilt or replaced. I'll be making calls tomorrow to hopefully get some quotes.

I am not sure if I should take it to the dealership or a local place that does good work. If the dealership could let me use a loaner that would be GREAT.

 

Shitty deal man. Hopefully its not too expensive.

 

Holy shit. I just got off the phone with the dealership and the quoted me at $4100!!!

 

Hope that's the price for a new one. I got a rebuilt for $1200 with a 1 year warranty.

 

Screw the dealership, go to a tranny shop for a rebuild

 

Yeah just dropped it off at a local shop where i get routine maintenance done. It should put me down about $2200 which sucks but I don't have choice
