[Shotimes] TRANNY HELP ASAP!

[van Oss]

Okay, you just scoffed at me for trying to sell a tranny for $375, but it happened.

If you want to take a stock SHO tranny out of a donor and plant it straight into another SHO, yes, it can be done for $1K.  I agree
on that.  Problem is, most SHO donor trannies are no longer fit to go into another SHO without a rebuild.  Sure, if you can find a
low-mile donor, you're lucky.  The more likely case is that Matt is going to need to take a donor and rebuild it.  If he doesn't put
a Quaiffe into the rebuild, he's asking for a high-mile stock differential to last longer than his last high-mileage stock
differential, and I'm sorry Ron, that's a crapshoot.  Anyone who takes a stock MTX-IV and pays shop labor to put it into a SHO, as
is, without rebuild, is throwing dice.

Courtney charges $500 for tranny R/R.  A Quaiffe is $1230.  Those I know.  My advice to Matt was realistic.

Joe, that is WAY at the top end.

A used tranny from someone like Al Fitz, delivered to a shop: no more than
$450 or so (including a warranty).

3 quarts of fluid, and two axle seals: $10-$20

Tranny R&R: $300-$500 (I wouldn't pay over $400 myself).

Whole deal, less than a $1,000. BTDT.
