Buying a 7AT transmission 4-5 slipping

Default Buying a 7AT transmission 4-5 slipping

So I went to the transmission shop down the road and got told it's 10 thousand for a new one. I was wondering what's the best route of action. Right now I'm thinking used. It's slipping pretty bad at the moment, and low mpg and low power.

There has to be a cheaper way to rebuild it, level 10s bulletproof 1000 HP trans doesn't cost $1000.

That's what I was thinking. You can get the last transmission you ever needed for $4k.

According to Level 10's web site the transmission costs about 4,500. I'm getting a quote from them tomorrow so I will let you know for sure.

I'd tell them to eat a bag of d1cks if they told me 10g.

Well they said they'd install a used one for $700 with fluid. I don't know if that's a great deal.
