Rebuild or replace ??

[dynoman]

My TR started slipping in 3rd gear under hard acceleration and a fluid leak . The tranny is supposed to be a "fully built PTS ... with all internal billet parts & 9/11 3700 stall lockup converter. Is it worth it to ship it 2 ways ( over $300) for a rebuild that could cost up to $1200 or just buy new?? The car has run low 11.0's @120+ so it would need a stout tranny. I live near Rochester NY. Thanks for any help. Sam

Better off rebuilding your if its already a built trans, should only need to be freshened up. Nothing agaisnt PTS but i would not ship it across the country for a rebuild. There are plenty of good choices not far from you.
How far are you from Milford, Conn?

Your about 350 miles , not a problem bringing it to you. Any ballpark estimate on how much a rebuild would be ? Also are you open on saturday & about how long would it take?
