Car is still where it broke down. I've been thinking, because I have time since the shop I usually take it to is closed b/c the family went out of state for the holidays. So, if it comes down to gears stripped in trans or something that might make the time in the trans extensive, should I just get a rebuilt & just move forward? Is there some place that rebuilds that I should purchase from or should I have mine rebuilt locally?

AND...I won't EVER get under car again like I did...I PROMISE!
