tranny toubles

[00GTpony]

ok so i have had a very very grindy second gear for a while now... It will go into gear and hold the gear, but its rele bad grind. Im sure its obvious that i need a rebuild or a new tranny. The problem is i have been short on the money situation lately. What is the cheapest way to take care of this situation?.. Pull the tranny out, and take the tranny somewhere to rebuild it?.. buy a used tranny?..take it out myself and rebuild myself ( cant find parts anywhere ).. Need ur help

Well being that yours has the 3650,its kinda expensive for the rebuild.But would be cheaper if you pulled it yourself and dropped it at a shop.I did the same with my 01 gt with a t45 and it cost me $400 for the rebuild.There is a site that sells rebuilt 3650's for $945,smallpartsauto or something like that.promotionperformance sells them for about $1250 or close to it,of course these are stock rebuilds with any TSB's applied.Any good tranny shop should tear it down and give you a quote for the actuall repair for free.Im guessing you have a bad synchro,thats what happened to my 2nd and 3rd gears in the GT.

Also if you buy a used one you would be looking at least $500 and most likely it wont last very long at all,from my past experience anyways.and Im sure most here will agree.
