Tranny is out!

[chelli]

So my tranny went out... something broke while i was on the highway and i lost the high gear as the engine was reving at 5k at 80mph... . Thank goodness that i made it back home, but once i got back, car started grinding in the lowr gears.... and i left it parked. Next time i started the car... rev. is gone and makes a funny noise when i put it in rev. So, the tranny is gone! So sad. But anyway, what subie trannys are available... did some research and it seems 4.44 ratio tranny and diff would help and would be the best bet for an auto tranny replacement? Any other ideas? Anyone know roughly the prices for the tranny and diffs and how much labour is in a shop? Im a noob.. so school me if need to. Just don't be too harsh. Thanks
