a local shop has offered a used transmission with a lifetime warranty(!) plus new clutch for $2200, which is less than the dealer price for either new or used .... there's also a site called Transmission Planet Remanufactured and Rebuilt Transmissions which sells rebuilts .... |

1st and 2nd gear syncho and bearings are the weakest links in the Insight manual trans. Lifetime guarantee? sounds great, as long as they stay in business. $2,200-and if it includes new throw-out bearing, resurfaced or new flywheel, and all the clutch trimmings? New slave cylinder? all new clutch fluid?
