    Well...the tranny went last night in my M1009

    In Mississippi it costs around $500 if you take the transmission yourself to someone, and around $1000 give or take a $100 if you take it there, If you are lucky to find a guy that rebuilds them behind his house in a little shop,then $250. I know this because I have done all the above. LOL
