Been doing many smaller projects on the bronco, holding off on the NV3550 swap (from 3 speed manual) due to the cost. Started thinking that maybe I can piecemeal it a bit, in terms of buying things a bit at a time to spread out the cost.
I like to support our vendors, but I also have to take cost/investment into account. If I breakdown the WH kit, the tranny is roughly $1,500. I can find a new one on eBay for ballpark $1,100 without core charge, roughly $100 shipping but no tax making that about break even and saving me roughly $400 versus buying locally (WH).
Not a big fan of buying off eBay for something like this, thought I'd hit up the community for any feedback/thoughts/recommendations. I'd really like to get a new tranny versus a used one hoping it doesn't need any reconditioning...
