How about this one? May not be the right size but definately cheaper

VXKat...those are great prices. I am glad to see that in our area since mine has been throwing a "slippage" code for a few years now. When the time comes that is WAY cheaper than what most have been quoted for a rebuild and labor...I will learn and do it myself when the time comes!

I'm hoping to source a replacement locally. My hubby works in an auto body shop so his parts guy is checking for me. Last I heard he had a 99 Trooper II with approx. 30,000 for $450 that he was looking into. I'm torn between going with a rebuild or used since I also have a high mileage oil burning motor in there. I don't know how much money I want (or can afford) to keep throwing into it. < big sigh > but I love my car so I guess it doesn't matter if it becomes a money pit.
p.s. you can keep your trannys Circ.. I don't want to have to share my clothes and shoes. (mainly cuzz he'd probably look better in them and that would be embarrassing)
Hi, sorry you are having these problems.
But - broken tranny and oil burning motor and hubby in the auto trade, makes you the perfect candidate for the first ever 5 speed manual transplant.
Find a manual Isuzu doner vehicle and buy the tranny, motor, and computers all in one go.
Perfect.
Just do it.

Hubby in auto trade does not mean hubby will voluntarily EVER do any maintenance however minor it may be on my VX without lots and lots of begging and .. well anyway,, there's not a chance in hell (can I say that here?) of his installing a new transmission no less swapping out a motor.. Plus,,, a 5 speed manual? Ughhhh no way! I spend 2 to 3 hours of my day commuting a measly 25 miles to work. A clutch and shifter is not my idear of fun on the freeway parking lots.
I asked my checkbook what it thought of the "buy a donor" idea... all I heard was choking and laughter? Guess that meant no too.![]()
