new trans

im getting a used tranny before i install it what should i do to it? I thought of a transgo shift kit, new filter & tranny fluid. Is there anything else i should do to it for performance and realiablity while i got it out of the car?

how did i know? lol yea i still got it. i got this one guy trying to lowball me for it and its kinda lame. hes like how does 50 shipped sound, and i was like no. so he was like ok i can try to do 55 shipped. and then he offers 60

so your tranny actually died now? where did you wind up getting a new one. good luck with everything man.

i ended up finding one for $250 at andrews auto parts. I was gonna sell it but i figured i coulda get much for it the way it is and i knew i woulda find one as good as i had this one looking for less then $2500 and i couldnt afford a t/a or formula insurance.

you know i was selling the gm rebuild tranny for 300 bucks right? oh well too late now. i think adapter plates are kind of expensive anyhow. im glad you decided to keep it and i knew it wouldnt be worth getting rid of.

you know what ill drop the price a little. come get it for 90. i believe i already gave you my address, but if you need it again i will pm it to you

or you could look at the car as a transition. its still a sweet car, and it costs less, and less to maintain than the 350 would, and now you have money to save up for a really nice one by the time you are ready.
