I got mine from Dave @ TEP. You can probably just call him and he could probably have it to you by the weekend. He's in Indiana.

3 weeks ? When i had my 2002 monte carlo i had several issues with the transmission. I had it in the dealership literally 5 times. First the sungear shatterd when i put it in reverse. Then it had a issue with the valve boddy where it got nicked and would cause the computer to go into some type of limp mode making it 100% pressure. Then where they took it apart it leaked where they coudnt get it to seal anymore and needed a bell. Then after they replaced the bell the car would drop out of gear at idle "seal issue" then after they finally got everything fixed i got T-boned , anyways during all of that i got a rental every time and they fixed it no questions asked , it was one of those certified 100,000 mile warrantys. squeaky wheel gets the oil , or use a hammer and start making people sqeeke
