Default auto trans options

well, i killed my stock trans at the track today <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> looks like 3 and 4 are gone. what are my options? i dont want to go with an flp trans cause of cost/lack of warranty. i need atleast 4 gears cause its an auto that i daily drive. i need the price to be under 2K too. it needs to be able to hold 400+ hp too. what are my options?

Check out the LS1 Speed upgraded tranny's. They sell 3 different models, some of which are under $2k, I think. The tranny's are somewhat new to the market, but people seem to be having good luck with them so far.

FYI, it`s a 3 month warranty, check into it.
Stage IV is $1795 I believe with the 15% off special I believe they`re still running.

3 months isnt enough <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> especially if i get it now, it will sit in the garage when it snows and waste my warranty away. ive decided to go with a used stock one till after winter. then get a speed inc one so i have the warranty when im driving it.
