I have looked around and the only reasonably priced one was in Southern Illinois. I live in the Central Michigan region. :(
Would it be cheaper to pay someone to rebuild this tranny or buy a new one. If I should buy one where would be a good place to look?

There should be many qualified mechanics in Michigan who can rebuild your manual transmission. I would spend a little time and ask around. I've known semi-skilled individuals who have rebuilt manual pickup truck transmissions. ATXs are much more difficult for individuals to diagnose and repair. On a manual transmission, I would definitely try to repair what you have.

Ok sounds good. I figured I would just repair instead of buy a whole new tranny.
Thanks
