As some of you know, I'm in need of a trans rebuild soon. But I found something this morning....

Too good to be true?

I have my car right where I want it. It'* solid. Good engine. I know all of the little quirks of the car. Many of you said I should stick with it and rebuild. This one just had it'* trans done. Should I go for it or shut my eyes and look away?

That will have the 4T60 transmission in it. Not that it really makes a large difference being that it'* rebuilt. Your car has the 4T65E in it. The difference is mostly that the 60 is vacuum controlled for shifting pressure and the 65 is electronically controlled.

For the Price of it, buy it for the tranny then you have free parts !! Or a motor to build up !!

Good point. I didn't think of that. Would that make the 4T65E cost more to rebuild at all? I know a guy who can get me a deal (sub $1000) for a rebuild either way.

Pssh, I'd do it. There'* nothing like that for that cheap near me.

I would look at the build date of that 97.... You just never know.

But IMPO Electronically shifted trannys SUCK haha

Look at my Allison

125k miles and only $900? Something else is wrong that the owner is not disclosing in the listing.

65 should cost about the same to rebuild as a 60. They both have their costs and most of the cost is the labor.

On the price... that'* in reasonable line with trying to move a car fast. I get a lot of hits on Craigsnotify for cars under $1000 that are in about that same shape etc.

I got my first '95 Bonnie for $520 at an auction. Got in a wreck, then found my '98 for $950 and they drove it to my front door. It was listed for $850 but I gave them an extra hundred for driving so far.
