Damn...can I just BUY a better transmission for the money than having mine built?

To answer your question,I'm sure the mail order tranny will be just fine. The biggest draw back would be the cost for shipping.All in all it may come out to cost more than getting yours rebuilt. Just how bad was yours acting ?Did you keep driving till it no longer moved or did you pull it before things ground to a halt? It takes alot to do major damage to a automatic. Just a thought..
