Thanks Pete, good suggestion. Sounds like a pretty good buy if you don't mind getting dirty (I don't mind) but we don't seem to have you-pick style auto wreckers here in the Seattle area. They (the auto wreckers) all pull the parts themselves and charge higher rates - usually one half the full retail of new. Might have something to do with liability - some goof in the past probably dropped a transmission on his foot and then sued the auto wrecker and, consequently, now they keep you on the clean side of the counter only.
