know the thread is kinda old but the transmission i bought last week to put in my truck cost $350, and that was an '02 transmission for an '01 model truck (interchangeable up to an '05 or '06 model i believe)....and that was the cheapest i found it....found them as high as $550 at the yards around town. then last summer while replacing my AC the high pressure line blew out. found one for $35 i think it was? and a new one from o'reilly was $163.99. yeah parting out a trashed car makes sense. may take some time but part out what you can then take the rest to the recyclers. 8 cents a pound for scrap steel.
