Transmission Rebuild kit Options

[thatchriskid96]

I have been pricing transmissions and transmission rebuild kit and im not entirely sure which kit to buy. I cant find a transmission locally with low mileage or within my budget. Does anyone know where i can buy a rebuild kit?

If you're just needing bearings here're a few places:

http://www.manualtransmissionpart.com/BK419.html
http://www.makcotransmissionparts.com/BK419.html

If you need the synchros then you're shy of $700 anywhere you get it. Everywhere shows the kit is for a '94-99 Celica but i would contact and confirm first just to cover your ass if for some reason it's not right, even though the S53 was used in the '90-93 Celica GT behind a 5S-FE with the only differences I can find find is the second gear and final gear ratios.

Im pretty new to the car world still. I know a little more than the basics but not much. do you think a transmission for $250 with 100k on it is worth it? My trannt is stuck in third but the shifter moves by hand. any suggestions?
