Subject:      091 transaxle prices
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Well, I bought a used 091  for $300 and was quoted a price of $400 - $450
for a rebuilt 091 transaxle from three different sources. I had this used
091 transaxle installed and a new clutch installed as well as new CV boots
installed all round for $450 labor and parts (excluding the actual cost of
the clutch kit and the CV boot kits  and the used tranny). I don't know
about what "industry standard" prices are up there...but here in Arkansas
and in the Carolinas... the prices below seem excessive to me.

PS: If anyone wants a busted 091 tranny to rebuild for cheap, I have one
wrapped in plastic sitting on the floor here.
