Where to buy a new A4LD Bellhousing?

[chris070780]

I took a gamble and it didn't pay off. I dropped my trans in my 91X and replaced the front trans seal. I knew at that time I should have replaced the bushing put didn't. The Torque converter seemed to have a good amount of slop when it was fully installed in the transmission. That was my 2nd hint I should replace. I would send it in to have a new bushing installed, but I managed to mess up the race that the seal is in. So I am better off to drop tranny again and replace the whole housing.

Where is the cheapest place to get a new housing?? What do they cost?

wouldn't a used one work?

yeh, but a used one could have a bad bushing also. I guess I could send a used one out to have a new bushing milled in.

I don't know how much they charge for shipping.

I thought it would cost me like 300+. Great news! I was looking at used ones for $50! Crazy.

I just noticed something. They show the bushing at a separate piece. I though the bushing was a some what permanent piece of the housing. Wonder if the new housing comes with the bushing pre-installed.

You should contact them before you buy it. Where to do see the reference to the bushing? Is it in the break out photo or the price list? There is a note on the top right hand corner of the page to log in to see discounted prices. It might be a little cheaper if you set up an account with them (name, password, etc).
