Im with Goody on buying a new trans. I respect everyone on a budget and all of that but I just prefer to buy new parts. Brand new stuff gives me piece of mind as reliability is more important to me than horsepower. There is a reason why used stuff is for sale, mostly with an unknown sketchy history. Time is important to me too as it sucks to have the car down waiting for a part. With new parts you just slap it on and go. I actually regret not buying another T56 Magnum last year as it jumped up a couple hundred bucks. If and when my trans goes out I would just throw the new one in and be back on the track while the first trans would get rebuilt.
