Auto salvage guys still here?

[Mach1Run]

I got a 97 ford ranger the other day for $200 and case of beer. I need a 4r44e transmission for it or I'm going to have the one that was in it rebuilt \ repaired. Who are our go to guys for these things nowadays?

I'd have it rebuilt. I've been on a losing streak with junkyard parts lately. They seem to like to say its good, then installing it ends up proving otherwise.

Anything used you find for that is going to be so old it's going to leak fluid everywhere. I think most folks here would recommend Mike's Trick Shift

Your gonna be stuck with the little yards on one of those. Also, with that truck being 20 years old, 12k miles a year puts it at 240k. I would look at having it rebuilt

Speaking of salvage yard. I'm needing underpinning for my 2013 Civic coupe. I had a tire jump out of the dark at me last night and tear a bunch of shit off the bottom of my car. Honda parts direct shows it to be about $200 shipped to me.

Like actual suspension pieces? Salvage yards generally sell sheet metal, drivetrain components and an entire suspension side which they call a knee assembly. Really for $200 I'd probably buy new and not deal with getting the wrong stuff.

Thankfully no suspension. Everything that was damaged was the aero undercarriage and skid pans

There aren't any interchanges on that stuff so most yards aren't going to inventory it. That and the cars get moved around by forklifts, those parts are probably going to be destroyed.

Thanks for the info!

How hard is it to DIY a rebuild? I have seen the kits and and the manual here and there online.

You'll need some measuring tools, to start with.

Whats actually wrong with it?

[Murph Tang]

sometimes cheaper to buy a craigslist parts car then scrap it after getting what you need.

All I was told was the shop the guy had it at wanted $1700 to rebuild it. Original trans with 108k on it. He took it in after the idiot lights came on, they pulled and disassembled it. He decided to spend the $1700 on a new f150 instead. He was gonna junk it so I lowballed it and he took it. He picked it up from the shop and delivered it with all the bits in boxes lol.

Its going to be a first time car for my son to learn to drive so it doesn't need any thing fancy other than just being able to run and pass any inspection it needs.

Was hoping a pullout or diy would get it back on the road inexpensively for a while but not sure how to figure out what spefically is wrong.
