Mine died 5 miles from home so at least I didn't have to pay for the AAA wrecker ride. Everything else is adding up though, especially since I'm taking the opportunity to put on a new deeper aluminum pan and install a shift kit. But it's still far less than the $1200 for a rebuilt one that the parts store wants.

Rebuild kit is less than $100 more like $65 or $75. Depending on how mechanical you are or price it through a shop . if they want an arm and leg try Summit or Jegs They have street trannys for less than a thousand dollars for Dodges. Part number TCI 111138 1967 to 1979 non lock up 727 for 318 , 340 and 360

Put in the good clutches and steels and kevlar bands and already had transform tf2 shift kit. Rebuild kit was like $150 I think?

Rebuild kits are little more than clutches/plates, a couple of bushings, gaskets and seals. With mine I also needed all the thrust washers, most of the bushings, a race, a planetary gear assembly, bands (kevlar) and just to be sure contamination isn't an issue a new torque converter. Add on a bunch of labor and that guys quote might be in the ballpark, although I couldn't say for sure since I never had one rebuilt before. Don't blame you for not wanting to do it yourself, not super complicated but it's sure a lot of work. Good luck with it.

They have really good pictures too, which could help you identify what parts you're looking at. http://www.transmissioncenter.net/dodge.htm
