Well, I've been down this road before. I have a 1998 SS. I replaced the factory tranny with a used one I got from another PO member in 2003. My factory tranny had 96K miles on it. The used tranny I purchased for $450 had 60K miles on it. I now have 150K miles on my Lude, and am rebuilding the used tranny. Cottman's Transmission charged me $1800 for parts, labor, and warranty. This is a fair deal imo, because I don't want to go down this road again. I plan on never getting rid of my Lude. I have had it since 2000, and have at one point in time, replaced nearly all worn components. It is a known fact by all Honda mechanics, that the factory SS tranny will fail, due to faulty internals and a bad torque converter. With the use of aftermarket parts, I feel I have solved this problem. Of course some have tried using Level 10, and other sources, but I have heard their horror stories too. I checked around, asked other Honda mechanics, and sourced my parts carefully. I'll let you all know how things go, in the months to come.
