Sounds like a core.
Are the exterternal cases in good condition?
Where are you located?

Subject: 091 Tranny Value

Hi all,
I recently changed out my 091 transmission which is, of course, a tale of
misery and joy like all DIY jobs. Snagged a tranny at the u-pull-it for
$25!! (probably got a sympathy discount since I did it over two VERY cold
days). I had no idea what condition it was in. I originally planned to tear
it open and look around to make sure it was OK but was quickly stopped by
the cost of special tools and parts. So, I decided to just replace all the
seals I could reach from the outside and install it. Much to my delight, it
shifts as smooth as silk thru all gears!

So now I have this transmission that I removed which grinds going into 2nd
and 3rd and will pop out of 2nd if you let off the gas. Can I get any cash
for this one? How much? Should I save it for the (inevitable?) breakdown of
the current tranny?
