Recommended Websites for Buying Used Transmissions?

[dgxj99]

Hey, I am preparing to replace the transmission in my 1999 4x2 thats been sitting around for waaay too long. I dont want to invest half the value of the Jeep into itself, sadly. But I do want to find some decent parts at good prices. Does anyone recommend a used parts dealer? I want to get jeepin' again. Thanks guys!

I replaced my tranny a while back just using http://www.car-part.com.

It searches your local used part lots, and give you a decent selection of options. I have since put 40,000 miles on it, with no problems.

Find a low-mileage junkyard trans, clean the internals with fluids and treatments, and you'll be good to go for less than $500.

Drain it completely and replace the filter. Add 1 quart of Trans-X Stop-Slip (it's a seal conditioner and gum cleaner), and fill it the rest of the way with generic Dex-III. After 1000 miles, drain the pan and top off with Dex-VI (more expensive but better). After another 5000 miles, do it again.
