What are the pros and cons of this particular one that I should consider?

Thanks for your help, its really encouraging.
Well the pros is that is the one for the 530 The cons, its a used trans, but its for cheap and will/should do the trick. I would atleast inquire about the trans. Hopefully its as good as he says it is... I don't think there is much you can really look for on a used tranny. It either works or it doesn't. I would say check for visible leaks on it and replace the seals before you install it. I dont know how many miles were on your trans before it failed, but I think you do have a very good chance with it, especially for the price.

Depending on you mechanical ability, its not really that hard to do, but like somone else said a shop will charge a lot to do it. The way I look at it, fix what you got, don't give up and don't go and buy somone elses problems. You have your car, you said you love it, don't give up on it. These type of things happen and just think, when you fix it, you will have your car again!!! Don't give up!!
