904 Transmissions Drying Up

I ended doing my own, since my buddy retired. I did my own years ago, and the 2 I did this winter I haven't tried yet. The good parts prices have increased, so when I tell someone what it might cost, they usually do not want to spend that. My buddy needed one for his Demon, his cracked the case. I told him it would be at least $ 1000 in parts, because I wouldn't reuse his modified valve body. I ended up finding a rebuilt one from a racer with a manual valve body, low 1st gear and deep pan for $ 1000. So that is what he did.
