If your trans is in good shape and relatively new you would get some money from selling it but I doubt it would offset cost enough. Doing the work yourself would certainly help if you have the knowledge.

seeing as the NV5600's are no longer being built. . and also becomeing more and more expensive.. .you would be better off haveing your auto beefed up. unless your Jakebrake and like being sado-masochistic

Heck if you loose 7k on it in the trade in, you might as well put the trans you want in it right? just my 2 cents though.
