It would help a lot if you told us what kind of trans you have, 6 speed or automatic.

I think mine was around $2K. New GM. Rebuild was 600 or so less. The warranty on new sold me. 90 days for rebuilt.

Post this in the C4 tech side with transmission trouble in the title and Pete K will chime in. He might have a trans for sale, I know he did a while ago. You couldn't buy from anyone more helpful or honest than Pete K.

Default Contacting Pete Kane

I have a Pete Kane prepared transmission, TC and 3:73's. Search The Forum. Easy to find his threads. Eventually he will see this and respond although he maybe out-of-town on assignment. His prices are competitive and he's a great guy with whom to deal. You won't be disappointed. Good luck to you.

I really don't know what I want to do. I don't know if I want to buy a new oem or rebuild this one to stock or build it up. Or should I buy a already built up trans. What are some of those options and prices? I am i really lost in this situation thanks guys for all the help.
