Then for the rest of the parts, a new clutch and flywheel, it would be another $1400. Then I can't do it myself, since I have never done anything like that, so I was told $1500 in labor.
Tranny swaps are easy! Unbolt old transmission. Unbolt torque converter. Bolt on flywheel. Install clutch. Install transmission. Bypass park lockout. Drill hole for clutch pedal, install clutch pedal. Done.
Done. If Dave had noticed he'd unplugged the starter, it would have taken us only 2 days to swap the tranny on the 240.
