They're not that hard to find from cars with way under 100K. It is harder than finding an automatic though, because A4's with next to no miles on them are dirt cheap and easy to find. The T6 is harder to find, so I guess it depends on the price / chore of finding the used one you like vs getting a rebuild. Either way 3K is too high which was the point of my post, he wasn't talking $400-600, he was talking $3k. The 1500 quote he got is much better.
Thats if a shop pulls the trans, rebuilds it and puts it back in. But yeah that makes sense.
Anything over a grand is too much when you can pull it yourself and rebuild it or grab a low mileage trans to put in for a few hundreds.

Got some new prices, haven't looked at junk yards yet gonna do that this weekend.
A local transmission shop quoted me for $1500 for a full rebuild including parts and labor with a warranty.
I called Late Model Race Craft, they have a freshly rebuilt T-56 with some performance parts in it already, billet keys, hardened shift fork and some other stuff for $1500 plus a $450 labor charge to swap the trans. Or they can rebuild mine for about $1200 including parts and labor.
If both the Z and the 3.8 are paid off I say get the trans rebuilt, get around to fixing that Z then buy a Honda of craigslist for a daily driver.
It's never a good idea to drive a Camaro as a daily driver to begin with. No point on jumping into a car payment for 5 years and be back in the same position in the near future. I always said if God forbid my transmission was to crap out on me, I would weigh in my options before I finally say screw it and let it sit in the yard.
But try everything you can to avoid a car payment if possible, its better to fix than to lease. Trust me.
