What to DO ???
It's finally my turn to deal will the tranny issue. Clutches in trans are gone. Time to rebuild. Can you guys who have been there, done that, give me some good advice. Not sure what to expect as of total cost yet. Shop stated anywhere from 1700 to 2500. Quite a gap if you ask me. Well anyway I was planning on ordering a Slim line Trans Cooler. At this point I'm leaning towards a Perma Cool (20,000 GVW 3/4x10x12-1/2) or (24,000 3/4x10x15-1/2) Does any one have these installed and is there any problems with the larger one fitting ? I was also planning on ordering a Perm Cool external filter w/tach. Since I'm not sure what replacement kit the shop will be using I had thoughts of ordering a Level 10 rebuild kit to take to the shop to work with. If any of you guys would think that I am doing this all wrong any help (advice ) would be greatly appreciated.

When mine went bye bye I replaced it with a used one with low miles. It ran 1800 I believe.

I was able to find a used tranny 95 w/94,000 on it. He wanted 1300 for it but all the shops want 450 and up to install it. It would only have a 90 day guarantee. If they could give me a closer rebuild price I could come up with a better idea of just what I should do. At least if the rebuild was closer to the 1700 price that would be the way to go because then it has a 1 year or 12,000 mile warranty. THANKS for your input Pete.

5 spd conversion. Faster, better mpg, and more fun. It's about the same price if you do your own parts hunting.

Chicane, Actually that would be my sons dream come true as well as mine. I much prefer driving a manual verses an automatic. The problem is not gathering up all the parts need BUT getting someone (with knowledge) and a little adventure to take on the task. I am a 45 year old mother/motorhead. My husband unfortunatley can't stand working on cars and will go know further than changing the oil. I've asked a number of local garages about doing the job and they just look at me like I'm crazy, state theres know way it can be done ( we know differant ) and send me on my way. Diane

mikecg I think I'll take your advice and take a copy of the info to the garage that I considered to do the rebuild. With any luck (which I have none) he'll agree to give it a shot. It's at least worth a shot.

Moody,
If your looking at selling I'll definately entertain that aspect as I'm already looking at a 92 with a couple of issues.
