im getting another tranny for 160 bux, should i just pay this guy 100$ to install it...or do it myself? ill need a more detailed walkthrough then the one in the FAQ section..anyone have a link?

 

if your handy and worked on cars before, then save the $100 and diy.

 

If you're somewhat technically proficient, you could do it but i'd suggest a helms manual... http://www.helminc.com

Being that the helms is $62 tho, just have the guy do it for $100...thats nothing for labor.

 

Id do it myself (I do, do it myself)
I wouldnt say its easy, kinda a pain..but $100 is $100

 

%&$^%^% ****, im so pissed now, the guy called a junkyard (the ones around here are SO WAY overpriced) and get a quote for 700$ for a shitty D-Tranny...and now he wants well over 400 for his used tranny ****

 

screw him
you can get another for similar cost
tell the guy that he'll be lucky to get half that for a D tranny

 

where? how? if i have to ge ta tranny shipped to me, itll cost me the same price, even if the tranny is free im just fucked

 

if you do find one and it needs to be shipped get it shipped to a business address and it will cost 1/2 that
(even if you dont know anyone who owns a business, most places will allow you to ship to them, if you ask nicely)

 

Hm, so what happened to the $160 tranny? I thought it sounded a little too good to be true.

Anyway, as for your original question, I'd have someone do it if it was only $100. Safe yourself the trouble. It's easy, but it's a pain the *** job. Compare it to an oil change/tire rotation. Very easy, right? But you don't want to be bothered to do it when you can get it done for less than $20.

Look in the Classifieds here for cheaper tranny prices. As said before, a D-series shouldn't be THAT much.

 

buty the shippin will cost me an arm and a leg...

 

Shouldn't be that much actually. Package them correctly, with the right carrier, and it shouldn't be more than $50. I believe there are a couple of "tranny shipping" threads here.

 

where classifieds?

Then look for your specific category of parts. Or even look at the regional forums, you might find one in your area and save on shipping altogether.

 

my region is canada, where is why the shipping is so much

 

like i said, shipping to business addresses is nearly half of what it is to residential

 

i found a tranny, 207$ from a EF DX but im gona have to install it my self, now i need a step by step
