tranny gone to ford heaven!
hey yall the dumplins tranny as you no doubt have guessed has died. I have only one gear and thats it. I am hoping some of you guys can suggest a place here in kentucky that can rebuild my tranny. If not i am looking at $1495 for a new one. and that means dumplin is going to be down for at least another 6 months.i am looking at it like this either i will have a fresh rebuilt tranny or a new tranny. anyways guys can yall offer any suggestions. the tranny in question is a 4r70w.

How are your mechanical skills? You could rebuild it yourself for a lot less. If dumplin is running but just needing a tranny, You can find them on ebay and craigslist. I actually met a guy down at Tattoo charlies about 5 years ago to pick up a 4r70w. I bought it from him off ebay and just met up to save shipping

actually i had not thought of that. So i looked before i replied and there is 3 for 500 dollars and one has less than 100,000 miles. or in georgetown there is a two trannys with 48,000 and 63,000 orginal miles for 750. seems like one of those will be my best bet. then i am going to keep my tranny and have it rebuilt later. thanks you guys. maybe one day me and dumplin will get to a kentucky chapter meeting, I just had surgery in januaray and i am just now getting to were i am walking around again.
