Need Transmission,,,HELP!

[JPsBored]

Well finally got hit with problems on my 2000 LS V8 Sport

Have had it over a year with no problems but a window motor fix.

But now i am in need of a trani,, lost 2nd n 4th.

Dealer told me 2700$ to fix. Reman

Trani shop wants 1900$ to rebuild with 1 yr warranty. and re doo the torque converter.

still pricey,, andyone have a trani for sale?

Any info would be great,,cause this sucks,,lol

I have noticed my tranny doesnt shift into D4 any more. Is that a bad signal for future problems because otherwise it drives fine?

I know its best to drive in D5,, so no real need to be in D4.

Check www.car-part.com and www.greenleafauto.com. Both are networks of boneyards with used transmissions, many of us at the Thunderbird and Cougar Club of America have used both for procuring engines and transmissions with great success.

I just put in a used tranny with 19K miles on it. Cost me $650. A lot of work, but fun. I trust a low mileage used tranny a lot better than one coming out of these rebuild shops. I've had tranny's rebuilt before and things were never quite right.

I strongly disagree. When you're around town, I believe it's always best to be in 1:1 (D4). No need to let the trans keep shifting back and forth out of overdrive. I also believe that the same clutch pack or band that applies overdrive is used for second gear too. I think that's why you see failures of those two gears. Leave it out of OD except when on the highway.
