get a tep trans, they got a good cheap one for like 1600, back to basics iirc is what they call it. no core either.


most shops want a easy 5 to 600 to do a engine or tranny swap. order your own trans, and drop the car and tranny off. get that estimate. for just the r&r. shop around to a few garages too, dont take the first est.

if they order the trans, they are making money off it, shops always mark up parts by 20 %.
