The salvage transmission at that price includes a 1 year warranty that covers parts and labor! The salvage yard will cover labor at $65 hour per what the AllData book says time should take (this warranty was $150, otherwise the transmission would have ran $550 delivered)

This was the same route I took. I got a transmission with 70k on it (seemed like a lot less than my 155k one) for $500, they put it in for $400 and it had a year warranty.

My warranty has been up for a while now and it's been good to me.

Hopefully when you get the Imp back from the shop you won't have much more to do.
