Nothing wrong with a rebuilt tranny. I've had two rebuilt by the same shop. Don't know how one did, as I told them I was selling the car, so "just make it work" and for $600 they replaced the broken input shaft and changed the fluid and filter. (My wife's POS 91 Sunbird. Damn car was given to her and it still cost too much.)
The second was my 87 LeSabre. I told them, unlike the Sunbird, I was going to keep it for a couple more years. So $15xx and one week later I had a car with four forward gears again, new lockup torque converter, etc.
I drove it another 40K miles in about 18 months and sold it only because I found the 94 Geo Prizm as the new daily beater.
The shop came well recommended, and worked within my parameters both times.
