Anyone know where I can get a deal on a rebuilt tranny
I've got a 99 C4 Cab, just diagnosed with a tranny that's ready to go.
Does anyone know a good source for a rebuilt?
Does Porsche offer a reasonable exchange?
MotorMeister doesn't have them as Porsche won't sell them the parts.
Anyone have any experience with this?

i am not sure you can rebuild 996 trannies just yet. i dont' think porsche sells individual parts to shops. perhaps try porsche wreck yard... ie porsche heaven, i think is the store name. you'll see their ad in panorama or excellence.

Porsche doesn't even list the parts for the tranny -- it is a non-serviceable item. Basically you remove and replace. Porsche sells brand new and remanufactured trannies but as of last month they didn't have remanufactured trannies in stock. My tranny was fine -- just a broken mount -- but I ended up getting a brand new one for $10,000. Luckily didn't have to pay for it.
Follow Mooty's suggestion and look for a used tranny from a dismantler. I would've gone that route if I had to pay out of my own pocket. Try L.A. Porsche Dismantlers (http://www.911pcar.com/ ) along with Porsche Parts Heaven.
Good luck.

I think I can help here. I have a tranny from Porsche in a box. It's for a project car that I am building, but owner of car told me to go ahead and help you out if you need it now. I will get him another one.
$ 5,500.00 + $ 1,300.00 core charge. Shipping & handling extra of course.

Thanks guys. I'm doing the research now. Call in to the dealer and Brian Copans... and thanks Theo, I'll get back to you shortly.
MotorMeister says they could do a 996 if they could only get the parts, but Porsche won't provide.
