Here is the "OUCH" factor. Transmission shop called me today, not just the Input Bearing is toast but also galled up the Input Shaft and Counter Shaft. Essentially transmission is SHOT ($1100 to rebuild) They are looking for either a better shape used or a "commercially" rebuilt unit.

I found these guys: http://www.kormextrans.com/
With a phone call these guys quoted rebuilt $500 (+$100 core) +$75 shipping. Web site says $600++. In Stock. 90 day unlimited mile warranty. Anybody have experience with this place?
