Need a trans
Need some more help here guys. I need an A4 for my wife's Vette ASAP. So--- I bought one from a forum member, but after waiting about 2 weeks, I get a message that its expected to arrive here on/or about 8/31!!!! That's an entire month without a trans!!!
1. Do I tell the guy to keep it and refund me cause a local member is selling me one?
2. Who's got a line on one? Budget is an issue, and this is a completely STOCK car (and will remain so, in case you missed it this is the wife's car)
Thanks again guys!

If you can get the money back without waiting 4 weeks then do it. Did you have firm arrangements about shipping before you bought? In writing?

This guy has one but you'd have to take a road trip.

trans
Not sure if it's rebuildable or not. The car has 160K on her, so I figured it was time for a new one. Either way, I'm running out of time since I'll be tied up with a work project all of September into mid-October. What's a rebuild cost for a 4L60E?

Around here I was quoted $1200 for full rebuild with one year warrenty, R&R, and a new converter. $200 off if I pull the trans and bring it in. This was on a 4L60 and my C4, your car might be slightly different. It would have taken about four days. I ended up working on the trans myself and it has been OK so far. It had some easy valve body issues to fix.

I think it will depend on what all it needs, and who does the work, but 1200-1800 wouldn't surprise me. I don't know what a good used one goes for these day though - and what kind of warranty - if any - you will get on a used one. Try Rodney at RPM for a quote on rebuilding.
