Rebuilt is usually better than used, and has a better warranty.

I have not heard any bad things about Sun Valley, and from what I have read about them, they will be my first choice when my tranny lets go. My car has a rebuilt one in it. I do not know who rebuilt it, but it had 30k miles on it when I bought my car. I just added 10k to it. It is past time to do a fluid and filter change on it. That is next on my list.

Based on how much easier my 300D is to work on compared to other vehicles, I kick my self for not getting one sooner!

Reman is better than rebuilt... better than used.

Used is pretty silly unless you can confirm the mileage on the unit.



Problem is most local trans shops don't know how to rebuild foreign units easily, despite them being VERY simple. There is just not much to the 722.3 I had Cottman do the A341 in my Mother's LS400 and it seems to be doing fine still as it was maybe 3-4 years back. Probably has 50-80k on it by now, not sure. I just service it every 10k with a pan drain of two quarts (the filter is only a 100 micron screen)

I still can't figure out why people get hooked for a reman torque converter either on the MB units. There's no lockup clutch within. I could see if you have excessive spline wear maybe...
