So you would still need to do all the upgrades (LSD & updated internals).
There are used trans up on Ebay for like $500 or less alot.
Get one and send it to Terry.
Just noticed this and I had to say something.....
What you fail to see is that it's a brand new transaxel and it also has a 20% stronger open diff. How is a brand new trans not worth $900? Shift forks and an LSD are great upgrades and needed on a new or used trans. This way you KNOW it's internals aren't abused, buying used you can only guess. Internal work can get spendy, I know because I had TH build my trans.
"Down side" is that it has a Zetec FD which should be used with atleast a 3L or any FI, or you might have a performance loss.
BTW, he got the trans from my GB and purchased it for $750 shipped. They were built for a driving school that used mod'd CSVT's as track cars, but changed formats. I purchased a lot of them, and have heard no complaints from anyone who actually used theirs. The only "bad" things I have heard is ALL from people who haven't even used one let alone own one.
He started out listing it @ $1K 
It'll cost about $60 to ship.
I guess I worded that wrong. I just wanted opinions as I do not know what a rebuilt one cost and I havent heard back from Terry. I have sent him the RFQ but still no reply. I am planning on going the 3L route so the Zetec final drive would not be a problem. I know if I did get it I would throw in a Torsen and a set of Terry's "slick shift" forks. Also Swazo would you mind PM'ing me with the price you paid for you trans and what you had done. Thanks for all the responses.
