you are better off finding a local Transmission shop and having the trans work done or replaced by them, truthfully a jasper reman isn't a bad thing, I paid $1800 for a new trans last june in my truck I had 165,000 on the original and knock on wood I haven't had a problem since, I would reccomend gettting cooler lines installed and running a b&m auxillary cooler in front of the radiator it will help with your trans staying healthy

If you like go ahead and let someone sell and replace your transmission but here is my suggestion! Check around and see if you can find a minor vacuum leak! This can simply be the big round hose that goes from the fuel injection to the power brake hub! This is normally a push in connector which has about a 1/2 inch hose clamped on it! If there is any kink or the connector is not in correctly a leak will occur and the transmission will shift rough as though you will be thrown out of the vehicle! Try unplugging this connector and plug it back in hard and straight and maybe you will be lucky and fix your problem. If the vacuum is correct your transmission will shift better than you have ever experienced!
