just bought a 97 2wd longbed with a 3.0 automatic (for $500!) haven't drove it yet but have heard that 1st gear was slipping when it was parked 9 months ago, I'm not a fan of automatics but figure it will be quicker and easier to just drop another automatic in, want to know if anyone knows a good source. I'm sure it will be at least 1500 but I don't want to go to the trouble of a junkyard trans swap only to get one just as bad or worse. truck has 180,000 miles on it, so not surprised the trans might be bad. for 500, I couldn't pass it up
