Dealer was my first go to with VIN in hand. Dealer could not get the new $2000 transmission. No kit available either. I would have gladly paid the $1600 labor if he could. Shop in town that has gone down hill wanted $5000 for the job w/used transmission, so I decided to do the job myself so I would know it was done right. Nothing I was looking forward to.
I intend to attempt rebuilding my original transmission.
Some things you want from a dealer and a lot of things are just way over priced. Aftermarket parts can be superior or low grade. Just have to know what you are buying.
I usually got Datsun parts from the Dealer as they were of very high quality.
