I just checked again with my client, TRANSMISSION REBUILD CENTER, 1(800) 336-5525. They have a totally rebuilt 1992 transmission ready to ship for someone who will send a core. If you give them my name they will probably give you a decent discount. But because of their warranty they will request that you get an transmission oil cooler. If you burned up your old transmission a bunch of that old burned up bad fluid contaminated with the metal pieces of the clutches, etc., ill probably be trapped in the cooler and should not be reintroduced to the new transmission because it will ruin it. The company gives an instruction on how to attach the one line pumping to the cooler of the transmission and leaving the return line unattached -- i.e., draining into a bucket until the fluid comes through without contaminants. Sometimes that has not proved to be enough, so they want a new transmission cooler. My client is in Auburn, Washington, one of the suburbs of Seattle. They ship transmission throughout the world. Frankly, if you split a hose and ran out of fluid to the point you couldn't move, then you burned up the transmission and need a rebuild. If it worked for a while after you put a new hose on it and refilled it, you might have stopped in time, but contaminated the transmission anyway by running the burned metal bits and old fluid from the cooler through it. Maybe you can do your own rebuild, but sometimes it is nice to get one to put in immediately when you take the other out. Be sure to ask for a deal as an Alfa Romeo lover friend of mine. Don't let them tease you about having a Fiat. Jay in Seattle.
