Used vs. rebuilt transmission Posted by Cmyles [Email] (#1126) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Cmyles) on Sat, 31 May 2014 11:03:37 In Reply to: Transmission :-( 1992 900t 5speed, Frak [Profile/Gallery] , Fri, 30 May 2014 16:56:34 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Frak, As Jersey Saab said, be aware that installing a used transmission poses the possibility that you will end up doing the job twice. There is no way to judge the condition of certain bearings in the unit other than driving it or completely disassembling and inspecting it. And to make matters worse some people have been known to misrepresent the condition of used transmissions! Before you roll the dice you just need to decide whether the extra cost of buying a rebuilt unit is preferable to having to do the job twice, and it's a pretty big job as transmission R&R's go.
