Expensive?

My 987 S 6spd in my CSS would crunch when downshifting from 3-2. Renowned expert in AZ said he could fix it for $1300 in parts and $600 labor. Plus shipping from Neb to Az. No brainer.

Then he found a partial tooth loss on the pinion gear - $2600
Next he said the 3rd & 4th gear synchos were past their prime - $2000

Now at $7000, I was only $1K from a reman. Ended up going the reman route. My car has 68K mi and 2-3 DEs / yr the last 8 yrs. Can't imagine a trans w/ 115K mi will be in top shape. YMMV
