Rebuilds around here are very expensive. Tranny work is specialty work. My friend had second gear rebuilt (new synchros) and a new clutch put in and the cost was a shade over $1500. IMO, you are better off grabbing a new tranny and bolting it in.

Transmisson work needs to be left to someone that knows what they are doing. Half-assed work will give you a half-assed transmission.

If you buy all the parts and pull the trans out of the car and take it to the shop, they only have to charge you for labor. You are looking at probably 3-4 hours of labor.
