    You dont got a 5y/100,000m warranty?




    A transmission shop???

    To get it rebuilt.

    Or

    Use car-part to find a trans that will fit your car and swap it in.

    That's not bad at all. It's easy to change, just rent or borrow an engine hoist and drop that mother out. Good time to change any front suspension components as well.

    Do you get to visually verify the donor car and the mileage that this transmission is coming out of? Seeing is believing....and if I were you I would not be believing the mileage until I've seen the donor car with the trans in it. If it can't be verified, you'd be better off spending your money having your own transmission rebuilt with durable parts at a reputable shop. At least then you would know exactly what you have.

    I wouldnt touch a trans out of an LS4 car.

    Don't care how many "miles" are on it.

    Welp: you have an LS4 car. Goodluck.

    Your best bet is a built transmission and an external cooler. see: www.tripleedgeperformance.com

    Junk yard transmissions will fail just like your current one did.
