Re: Remanufactured Unit for $1400

I have been getting info myself on a possible rebuild of my tranny (5spd) and have found some interesting things. From what three different sources have told me, Saab a few years back raised the price of all individual parts that comprise the tranny so that it is more expensive to rebuild it (genuinely) than to have a remanufactured unit. Dean Hill Motors, my local Saab dealership in New Hampshire, sells a completely remanufactured tranny for $1400 and it has a 1 year warranty. Of course you still have to have it installed. Another local shop (Atlantic Motor Cars) that deal only with Saabs and Volvos for some time now said they would install it for $250. I couldn't belive the quote when they told me, it is pretty cheap but they know what they are doing. Apparently the philosophy from Saab is that they were losing money to independent rebuilders, and so opted for a remanufactured unit that could compete very well with the afore mentioned shops.
I have never heard of Erickson, are their tranny's more durable, or what's the deal on that? Something I should look into?
