Weren't we talking about a tranny and Over Drive together out the door
reconditioned with warranty? I don't have one to rebuild or one for a core.
What you implied was you could get a tranny and OD for the sum of - under
$600.
 The original post was for an "as is" complete unit and you said you could
get said unit for $600 rebuilt under warranty elsewhere's so where?
TIA
Jon
