rebuild G52 trans VS ol used craigslist w56
First things first....I SEARCHED for other posts like this, and found nothing, so if I couldn't find one already posted, blame the search engines, went though pages n pages!!!
My G52 trans took a crap, haven't opened it yet, but found pieces of bearings when draining the oil. My hookup on the 22ret r151 trans fell through, sooo bummed!!! So, my 2 options are...rebuild the G52 myself w/ access to a shop for tools OR just buy an old used W56 from craigslist and just throw that in and hope it lasts...???
I would like to have a fresh rebuild, but is it worth the trouble of rebuilding vs just picking up the ol craigslist w56...?!?!?
Mahalo!
p.s.- OR buy a ol used W56 and rebuild that cause its a lil stronger?!?

I was in your position not long ago. I ended up getting my g52 rebuilt for $400, and happy I did. I love Craigslist, but don't care for the headache and unexpected costs of having to rebuild something that was said to be in good working order. Good luck

Rbmoomba...Did you rebuild it yourself or someone charged you $400 for a rebuild? I think the rebuild kit is at least $200.
