Time for a new Tranny

Post by cactus52 »

Ok:

From my previous post (transmission woes) I need a new transmission. I checked into it and to have mine rebuilt it would cost an average of $1800. If I get one from a reputual salvage yard I can get one for about $700 with a warranty. Since my Jeep is broken to price dictates the salvage option. I am going to to the RnR myself. Is there any guidance to doing this online anywhere? Any helpful advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Like me, if you didn't have bad luck you wouldn't have any luck at all.

This is an abbreviated version of how to do it. The only place I know with a longer version is on the VADIS disc. 960s are not very well covered in manuals.
