Re-built or Used Tranny?

Re-built or Used Tranny?
Can anyone enlighten me as to what the dollar cost might be to purchase either a used or re-built automatic transmission for my 1998 S70 base?
I have no clue as to the cost here and the car is presently at a transmission shop to get analyzed for what is causing the problem.
Just trying to figure out in advance as to whether I should keep the car or sell it for next to nothing. It has 170k miles on it and it is in decent shape.

Hello everyone, I have a VOLVO V70 year 1998 with a tow bar original from VOLVO with the homolagation code E4-00-0540. In the town bar was a small plaque with some technical indications. The adhesive plaque disappears after twenty years of use and now I need these data to present to the TUV/ITV.
Could anybody to send me a picture of this plaque as it is a standard one to show to the TUV technicians. Thanks a lot, Hector

Mr D - two ways to find a used transmission: search Craigslist for somebody parting out a similar model or use car-parts.com to find a recycle yard near you. The latter is also a good way for get a sense of the pricing. Rebuilding or a rebuilt unit will certainly be way more costly than what your car is worth. Assuming you need a FWD automatic, they should be easy to find and the tranmissions are very stout so I wouldn't worry about going used provided the fluid looks ok. I'd bet you can find one in the 250 range

usually people parting out cars have already removed big components and should do the work for you. If you go to a yard, they'd do the same so you should make that part of the deal. As to your existing car, I'd start by doing a couple of drain/fills making sure you use the fluid spec'd for your year (ie owner's manual will either show JWS3309 or Dex III.) and filled to the correct level. I'd also do a trick called a "shifter row" where you go from park to lo to park about 20x fast (car can be off). Idea here is to clean off the contacts in the park/neutral position sensor in the shifter in case its sending faulty info to the TCU.
