Need a 2G GST transmission!

Alright, my car broke down in the middle of Veteran's tonight.
Anyone know of a place to buy a good-used transmission for the 2G GST?
Also, how much will it cost to install??

Thanks in advance...

Well, first of all get it away from those jackos. I've seen/heard of their prices and they are definitely one of the higher priced places in the area for the same amount of work. If you want a used transmission, the best resource would probably be www.dsmtrader.com Slopony is well known for their good transmission rebuilds, I'd try them. It doesn't sound like it's anything they couldn't handle rebuild wise. They quoted me $415 to remove, rebuild, and reinstall my 1G trans (providing they didn't have to replace hard parts). The closest person that could do the same kind of work was over $1000. Think about it.

Justin, the most obvious differences between the 2G and 1G trans are the bell-housings and motor mounts. On the 2G the bellhousing is in a different shape/pattern so that it bolts up to the 7 bolt block. That's why when doing a 1G in a 2G swap you have to switch bellhousings. The front motor mount on the 2G are on the transmission. On the 1G, they are on the motor. You can put a 2G transmission in a 1G (w/ swapped bellhousings) but you can't vice versa.
