well it happened.....transmision went boom

ebay is full of rebuilt trannies within $1000 range.

but I would suggest to go for manual, considering, you have an alternative mode of transportation and time to run around local junk yards. get the parts, find a mechanic who can do it in his garage (there must be plenty of people who is willing to make some extra dough during the recession) - it may cost you much less than 2G

used on a piece that is this expensive and integral for vehicle is a bad idea. Heck you may get some guys 130,000 mile tranny that goes at 140,000 and you pay $2000 for 10,000 miles. No warranty no guarantee

Sorry to hear this Don, and I have to ask, how often did you do a full service on your tranny (filter change, fluid change)?

Don,
Sorry about that? I hope you get plenty of sales tomorrow.
Peace.
