Default Bad Transmission. Rebuild or Buy New ?

The transmission on my 08 grinds 5th gear on high RPMs. Any idea on what cost is to rebuild it or should I just purchase a new transmission. ?

T6060 transmission.



Thanks.

Rebuild as in yourself to fix the problem,a few hundred dollars in parts at most.

Then better have deep pockets, since the Corvette tax is high if you are paying for someone to wrench on it for you.
