Default need transmission. Socal (310/323) area. Any cheap/good shops around?

Hey guys. I have a 2003 Z and the transmission is making loud grinding noise, which apparently is a common problem for the 03 transmission. I plan on just getting it replaced, and I know a dealer would charge too much $$$$

Does anyone know of any shops that sell used transmissions? Or at least cheap labor?

Anything around Socal would be good!

Thanks!!!!

I have a used spare tranny 6speed. I'm in LA area, I can sell for good price and I have a mechanic who works on my car who can do the swap for pretty cheap if you buy the tranny. Let me know what you're budget is.

No issues. I wouldn't keep it as a spare if it had problems. It could be cheaper to swap instead of fixing it if it isn't covered by warranty. I also have a buddy who is a nissan mechanic or another guy who works at the actual dealership. So eitherway I can hook you up if you decide to buy the tranny.
