I have a 92 auto GS.....when I got it i had to have the tranny rebuilt. If he does it right, $1000 is a good price. Make sure you get a warranty on it though. I took mine back 3 times, before the warranty was up, to get it fixed again.

It cost me $400 to swap in a new transmission which cost $200 ($600 total). The mechanic I dealt with said it would be cheaper to just throw in another transmission than changing out some of the gears. I suggest checking into swapping in another transmission, unless you feel more comfortable with a rebuilt one (which will probably last longer) or if you're rebuilding it with better gears and parts.

Justin, did he swap in a manual instead of an auto? Or were they both standards? Or both autos?

justin, did you get that trans from a junkyard? sounds pretty cheap for $200. what kind of mileage did it have?

I got a used MX-6 tranny for ~300USD last year, and that was on the high end as far as prices go. <BR> <A HREF="http://www.u-r-g.com" TARGET=_blank>www.u-r-g.com</A>

Hey David.. how are the ratios with the MX-6 tranny - is it in your MX-3... I have a KL-ZE and find im ripping through the MX-3 gears way too quick.. I'm don 60 MPH and I''m in 3rd shifting like a mofo! I was thinkin about puttin' the MX-6 tranny in for a broader gearing.. any thoughts?
