I took it down to a tranny shop today, they told me the thing would need to be rebuilt and would cost $1610.00 to do so or if I could find a used tranny somewhere would do the swap for $500.
I just found someone on craigslist with a 5spd and engine that is trying to get rid of it. Right at the moment I'm working with them to see about buying it from them and doing a whole engine and tranny swap and go to a manual instead of an auto.
What do you guys think about that happening?

Sounds good... is he willing to throw in the ECU, clutch pedal, master cylinder and lickage, brackets, shifter and linkage, and maybe CV shafts as well? There will be some light fabrication on your part to get everything set right...
How many miles did you have on the original tranny? I would lean away from a rebuild, but instead go towards a swap with a new(er) ATX... and maybe try to find out why the first one failed. Check to see if it is purely mechanical failure, or electrical that caused the mechanical failure, etc etc...

He says he has the tranny and engine, didn't sound like he knew much about what he actaully had and what not. The original tranny had about 110k on it, same as the engine. If he doesn't sell it (which I hope he does decide to let me get it) I'm going to hit a junk yard for the tranny and I think one of my friends has all the parts I need to do the swap.
Is there a way around getting a new ECU?
