I went today to two shps for estimates...i have a leak at the pan(no big deal)a leak at the filler tube the o ring seal(another easy fix)and a leak at the front of the tranny which requires the tranny to be removed...the guy told me to do a rebuild at a cost of either $1800 or $2000 depending on the warranty plan.(I went to certified transmission)otherwise he could not guarantee the work the work if he just sealed it up.The other shop which is reputable said they wouldnt even touch it if i did not get a rebuild. I have maintained the tranny since i have had the car the fluid is like new and although it has 150k miles on it it runs damn fine (The road test came back 100 %)it will run even better with the recal kit and a chip.
do you guys think the rebuild is a good idea?that is a lot of scratch.I think i saw Geno had some low mileage used trannys for sale but I can't remember the $$$.But i am sure it was cheaper than $2000.
Anyway i am looking for some good advice here.like I said the tranny works great and I have maintained it regularly,is this guy trying to make a buck or is it time for a low mileage used or a rebuild and Geno if you got those trannys post some prices for me so I can compare to rebuild.or should I seal it up and drive it
it never fails just when i want to play somthing breaks!
