i'll say this if it sounds too good to be true it most likely is. i have a rule i follow about buying anything used or "rebuilt" the runs on air, eletric, fuel, or hydrolic preasure, only pay enough to allow rebuilding it and not loosing my *** if it's not new in the box.

I don't know if I would spend $1K plus on E-bay from a seller with only 2 feedbacks and one of them is with a Non registered user. If threy're the Co. they say they are they'll have more up for auction down the road.

looks like they are a real transmission shop in AZ. do research on the shop, (consumer reports, local message boards) and call them and handle everything by phone and fax (more legit)

i decided i better not take the chance. I did some research and they are a real company i spoke with them and they sound legit. but something about paying 1100 for a trans on ebay... no matter how good it sounds there is still a risk. if i lost the 1100 i would be srewed.

If you're having a hard time shelling out the $$$ on Ebay, then buy it from them direct. They're a good bunch over there at P and D. I' ve used their services in the past. They're straight up and not looking to screw you around.
