Got the front diff/steering put back in it, and put on the new rear engine cover w/rear main seal.
I called a recommended local transmission shop about rebuilding my good working 130k tranny since I have it out. They get $2300 to $2700 depending on what they find. They said at 130k miles the tranny probably has some life left in it, but the torque converter might be getting tired. If it fails it could kill the tranny.
The factory stock GM TC that I took out was made by ZF Sachs, #JMBX2423. I'm not a fan of things made by this co. The stock shocks on my Prevost MH were made by them and weren't worth a flip. The stock shocks on my Polaris RZR were made by them and weren't worth a flip either.
So, I'm gonna replace the TC w/a rebuilt one from Precision of N. Hampton, $200 locally. A tranny rebuild will have to wait.
