Some local "auto repair shops" know a little about transmissions, and
some even know to farm out jobs they can't really handle. In my
experience the yokels Jamie has been talking to probably aren't lying;
they just don't know how to interpret reality properly or how to
communicate what they see. The "top half of the transmission sheared
off" could be a dowel pin sheared off, allowing the shift tower to walk
around a bit. A rebuild kit is not going to address this sort of
problem. Going way out on a limb here, the fix could be cheap, but it
will no doubt involve drilling out dowel pin holes oversize and
installing heli-coils, the sort of thing that takes brains, which are in
sort supply in many areas of rural America. See 99% of the topics in
this news group if you don't believe me on this.

I believe you. Well I do not have the time or the skills the to
replace that dowel pin. What do you think will cheaper in the long
run. Getting a used transmission that cost $550 or paying someone to
replacing that dowel pin? I do need to have my clutch replaced soon. I
know you need to drop the transmission anyways I can have the
transmission replaced then really cheap I am sure. I guess what I am
saying is do you guys think the repairs to replace the dowel pin.
Would be more then $550.00?? Thanks Jamie

I haven't seen the transmission, but the repair we are talking about
will certainly take some skill and may not even be possible. Unless you
can get someone with a reputation locally for being a transmission
wizard, you may be better off going with the used transmission. You
could look at the shift tower yourself. What are you going to do, screw
it up? The guys you took it too may be talking out of their butt, and
all it really needs it to have the bolts tightened down. You could hope
that, anyway.

Cheers,

Earle
