Cool

Are you using your GS as a getaway car??? Tranny going out twice sounds like either bad driving habits or bad rebuilders. Go to a reputable shop. What keeps breaking? A rebuilt transmission is only as good as the rebuilder or parts used. If you got the money, sure get a new one. A used one you'll only have to probably end up rebuilding.

You can always use this as a reason to upgrade to a better tranny!
