I have had teh transmission re-built, flywheel replaced, heater core replaced after it burst in the middle of nowhere, alternatore, timeing belt, power window switch (oddly, a $200+ part), and probably some other stuff I am forgetting.


Usually people just buy new used trannys for these things since rebuilding is often more expensive. What happened to the tranny? Did someone put gear oil in it? How did the flywheel fail? It is a big metal disc that usually doesn't need any more attention than resurfacing every clutch change. Alt, timing belt, and interior electrical components don't last forever on any vehicle, but many here just do the work themselves and replaces used with used components. I think you don't have a particularly bad rodeo, this is just an indication you might save some cash if you hang out here more often and learn to do the stuff yourself! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Besides junk yards, there are on-line parts places and even stcharlesauto.com has OEM parts for cheap. You just gotta learn where to look. good luck.
