I need new clutch pack and duty C in my 1997 GTL with 164000 miles on it. I can get a trans rebuilt for $1500+ with a 2 year warranty or get a used transmission put in for under $600 with a 90 day warranty. All I need is the car to last 2 years and money is an issue. What would you guys do??

Don't waste money on a rebuild which can very likely go wrong. I would prefer a lower mileage transmission that hasn't been rebuilt for under $600 and this is talking from my experience after spending $3000 on a rebuilt and the transmission not working properly.

i second to go used for 600. dont pay in the 1000's just for a warranty, cause it will probably end up needing warratny service due to improper rebuild, or install etc....

I'm going with the used trans, after talking to the place that will supply the trans it will have a 1 year warranty so $1000 for an extra year isn't worth it to me. Thanks
