Default I had the tranny from my other car bench tested now that I need it for my wife's
and it checked out 100%. Good news for me, it should last the life of the car since it's only got 60k miles on it with 2 filter/fluid changes.

I'm going to attempt this on my scissor lift. I called around and the estimates I got for a swap out were $1,300 - $1,800 PLUS fluid and filter change.

I really lucked out with this car fire because I was able to go to school ripping it apart. I don't think I would attempt the tranny swap if I didn't already have an idea what's involved.

Keep me covered, I'm going in

Default Good luck !
Don't forget to replace the oil breather hoses on the back of the engine. Easy to replace while the trans is out, a pain otherwise.
