Austin, I needed a transmission a while back. Go to Yahoo search and type
in "used auto parts". A list of about 550 came up and I just randomly sent
out inquiries. The first day I sent out about 6 and had an offer before I
was even done but it was more than I wanted to spend, a couple days later I
sent out about 6 more and got a hit the next day, from which I purchased.
This was after calling all my local junkyards and each of them telling me I
might have a six month wait! A couple even have their inventory on the net
for you to check.
All that said, I really doubt you are going to find one in your price range.
Good luck, Cal Hyer
