Default Is $1200 a good price for a tranny with 55K on it (97'2.8 QM) ?

The shop who has my car is trying to get me to buy a tranny for 2200, but I called around ad found one for the price i listed above. They also want to hit me up for 16 hrs of labor. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Default That is a GREAT deal! The lowest I can find one for is $1500. ..

Usually they range about 1500-1750 for that vintage.

(I am searching for one as well. care to share where you found it??)

Shop time should be around 9 hours.. not 16. that is what it was last time I had my tranny replaced.

Default Well.. I used to run a 125 shot NOS on it..

to make a long story short.. after I threw a valve.. I had to replace the entire top half of my motor.. bye-bye NOS

I think my first tranny was just weak.. not sure... happened on the highway with the juice on..

The second one was really my fault.. forced it into first...

But, yes.. I drive it hard
