arrgragrrr car frustration

[jrider27]

My transmission is completly shot. I had just replaced the motor at 170,000 miles for a grand. Now I'm broke with a busted tranny. The car is an automatic and I've been thinking of dropping in a standard since I have to replace it anyways. I kind of know wats involved but i don't have the tools to complete the swap. Does anyone know how much it would cost to do this. Suggestions on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Depends on the shop, but you are looking at least $400-$500 to get a good quality transmission, and another $400-$500 in labor at least.

You'll probably want to put in a new clutch, which can be anywhere from $150-$400.

I would budget $1500, and you should have some left over.

Any more than that... well.... that's alot.
