01 3500 Cummins trans
 

Hey there first post and just joined last night so sorry if this has already been put up but. I need a new tranny for my 2001 3500 cummins 4x4. Mine had over 450.000 on her (vary happy with that to be honest lol) and she finally blew up the other day going down the highway.
I've talked to a few mechanic shops in town that told me that a new 6 speed manual (same stock one I have in it now) would cost around $2500 Cnd :argh: . I found a lot down in the states for only around $700 US . But I don't want to have to pay some crazy shipping price plus duties. are there any places in Canada to order a new tranny for a decent price?

Don't know a whole lot about transmissions only that when its a dodge to go manual lol. as far as I know its a 6-speed NV5600 manual trans but correct me if I'm wrong.

Another thing I was thinking was taking my old trans apart and seeing if it is as bad as it seems. I mean its bad enough that I cant put it into any gears and when I was driving there was smoke and grinding so I'm sure its pouched but would a rebuild be cheaper?

thank you for you're time .
