my old atx tranny which has had a cracked casing and a stuck valve body for about 2 years now has finallyhit 100,000 miles and im about to replace it. Im getting 1 from the junkyard with 45,000 miles on it for 650. A few questions b4 i purchase

1. my car is a 99 and the new tranny is an 02 and they said that i need to know the numbers off my tranny to make sure they match b4 I could do the switch, is this true?
2. what internal parts on the new tranny would you recommend switching out just so that i dont have the same problem again. should i rebuild thw whole thing or just change out a few parts. what rae these parts if any and how hard are they to change
i know they are detailed pics and instructions around here on how to do this but i cant seem to find them, cansomeone help.
im also puttin on headers and an external oil cooler while i got everythig out, is there anything else that anyone recommends, thanks
thanks

Will not work ... speedo gears are completely different types and in different locations.

i have an Automatic Tranny that needs a rebuild for $90 plus shipping or pick up maybe you can use the casing

Rebuild using your existing hard parts and pick up this guys trans so you can reuse the case. I can do the rebuild if you need. PM me for info.

whow many miles on the tranny and what exactly is wrong with it? how much to ship 2 01608 or 10941 which ever 1 is cheaper

just tell me what u need the tranny is being taken of my car today so I can't give u an exact quote give me a day or so. The problem with the tranny was it would shift sometimes and sometimes it would slip. Some days it was fine then another it wouldn't work. So I did the quickest thing and found another tranny now I have this one that by the mechanics comments needs a rebuild, but I don't need the tranny anymore. the $90 are just to help me with the cost of the swap, but I willing to help you guys the problem is that it's in Kansas City and maybe if we gut the tranny, the shipping will be cheaper, you guys let me know.

well i already spoke to fastcougar about a rebuild and hes gonna take it from you. so talk to about it thanks. hey fast cougar from the symptoms he just listed, does it sound bad or not?

cool then I'll see about the shipping and try different companies for you guys I know you want to keep the cost low

ok thanks i appreciate it, this would be a big help cause mine is being held up by jb-weld right now and its about to go.
