id say it depends on what you want to do, if you want to get a new ls1 dont dump any more money into it, find somone on here or ebay who just bought a built trans and is selling their old one and basically drop a used trans in it if your going to sell it, if you are going to keep it and run that car until it dies, then either buy a used trans off here and just find out the miles on it, and the setup the car had before the trans was removed, or there is option two, which is just get yours rebuilt (if your car is modded do not put a stock trans back it, just get yours rebuilt or buy a rebuilt one and makes sure its not just a stock rebuild)

a bran new stock trans would be the absolute last thing you should do. spend less and buy a built one or have yours built, if you sell it get a used stock trans with no problems
