Tranny Went out @ 48,000 miles.

Well guys my tranny went out on Friday. I am stressing because I need my car. Its my daily driver and I dont know what to do. The company can rebuild it for 1500 including labor, or I could look into a used tranny for around 700 and then 400 for labor so 1100 total. I am thinking about a used celica transmission so I can get the better gear ratios and make a some what decent thing out of a bad thing. What do you guys think about going with a used tranny though. The shop wants to rebuild it so they can warranty it and make sure that I wont have issues again. Any suggestions.... I would appreciate it. I need them quickly too lol.

what kind of power were you running? the whole tranny blew?

yea one of the main components inside broke off. About 190-200 whp.

damn man. Sucks to hear that. Could be just something with your tranny or the 2003 corolla trannies. Usually the 240 trannys blow at 500hp...

Well i am sure you can pick up a tranny from a junk yard

that would be cool. Some iron shift rods... wait are shift rods in a fwd?

it seems allot of us 03 owners are having the trannys go around 50,000. my tranny went at 51,000 same thing some component inside broke. ive heard the same thing from others that own 03 manual corollas.

you guys need to start telling toyota so they can have a call back

Is that happening with stock setup or modded?

my car is basically stock... just the basic N.A. parts intake and exhaust. the only thing i could see as any reason would be the urethane motor mounts but they warrantied my tranny with them in so i guess they dont void it.
