Xteragrl - I know it's out of the way, but a neighbor just had the tranny redone in a '00 Frontier at Potsdam Nissan (can't remember actual name of dealer) for $1200. They looked around and got a junkyard tranny in good shape (actually still under warranty) shipped from Buffalo and put that one in. Might be worth looking into junkyards in the area to see if anyone has a newer Frontier or Xterra tranny in good shape. I've picked up a trans for a Saab and Nissan for around $500 each in the Syracuse area. Not many people seem to use older transmissions up there (and some cars just rust out before the trans blows anyway), so you might have some luck. I'll see if I can find some info for you. Best of luck
