He found a shop somewhere in Wisconsin or Minnesota, but I am not sure where. He said they sold rebuilt tranny's for $450.

Holy smokes!! $2660 for a rebuild. That's expensive. I have heard of tranny shops turning down a rebuild since there is so much time involved in the rebuild. Also, who actually knows how many parts need to be replaced as well. That can't tell that without pulling it apart. And also what happens after they put it back in the car.

I paid $1000 for a rebuild and they thought only the rebuild kit and a new torque converter would fix it. It didn't. They also needed to replace the valve body. And we found one more problem. I wasn't going to say until it was completely fixed. But they had brought my car to a shop that could hook it up to a computer, and they found a bad sensor. It is the VSS (vehicle speed sensor). My step-brother called the Ford dealership yesterday and they told him they couldn't get the part until next Wednesday. Yeah right. I just called them and they told me they could have it by noon today. So, cross your fingers for me. I hope that fixes the pulsing problem.
