I had an internet service provider worker come to my house and try to buy this when he seen it. Obviously it's not for sale however he told me he has a Trans-Am that has a 700r4 and he had it rebuilt locally. It ran him $1200 with the shop only doing the rebuild and the owner doing the removal and reinstall.
So that being the case I called the shop and they asked if I wanted to buy my own parts and they'll install everything. Being as it's going in a Corvette they guessed I wanted some upgrades. They told me that $1200 is a pretty standard rebuild cost for a 700r4 however only about $700 of that is labor the rest is parts and torque converter.
So needless to say I can get a whole lot bigger bang for the buck. I've found a bunch of goodies at transmissioncenter.net. I'm still figuring things out however I'm pretty stoked. I'll be able to pretty much bullet proof the 700r4 for $2000 and have a local warranty.
