I am very new to this, so please explain...

By "core" I mean a unit where the casing is not cracked of something really FUBARed on it. That way they can take the piston out and rebuild it. Now if your piston is cracked or broken, they might consider that a bad core. Like when I get a reman trans. I have to send them my old broken trans. HOWEVER, if the case were cracked, you are SOL. They will take the internal parts and put new clutch packs and clean it out, etc, etc. So, Lets say I get a trans for $4000. They will tack on another $1000 in a core charge. My Visa Bill just became $5000. When I send them back the old trans and they find it in suitable condition, they will credit me the $1000. Same with an engine. If the crank is cracked or the block broken, they deduct what they think it is worth from the core charge they tacked on. That way, you return them something they can use. Otherwise, if you trashed the trans, engine, alternator or whatever, they will have nothing to rebuild.
