If the transmission bolts to the engine, you're talking a day, maybe two, job versus much longer to take everything apart and I wouldn't be surprised if buying the parts separately costs more or close to a used transmission anyway. There's a reason most mechanics just swap them. It's not as simple as just cracking it open and changing out the gears. You should be able to get a fairly low mileage LS transmission for around $600, usually warrantied, from a wrecker ( Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market). |
True im not very car savvy but my brother has a friend who is a machanic that would be able to help me out if i needed it... Oh and two days? Thats fine i have all the time in the world and because im military i have full access to the garage on my base with just about any tool i may need. The bad part is sadly right now i dont have an extra $600 for the parts so maybe ill try out some easier less expensive ideas such as sealing panel gaps, installing a grill block, and work on perfecting P&G as i have yet to try that out. i guess ill just have to tackle this one another time when i have a litle more cash for the job.
Thanks
