ebay refurbished transmission
Just wondering if anybody has dealt with/used a refurbished transmission off of ebay. After pulling the transmission off my explorer for what i thought was a failed internal slave cylinder, I found out that the pilot bearing exploded scarring the input shaft. A new pilot bearing will no longer slide over the input shaft and it looks like i will be replacing the tranny. Is there any reason why I should stay away from these units? Are these transmissions shipped via freight or can they be shipped with ups(weighs roughly 70lbs)

Man if its just surface rust, blast that ****** with some WD40 and let it sit a few, then wrap a 3m Scotchbrite pad around it, squeeze and spin! Do that until the scotchbrite pad is black, then move up to 1000 grit sandpaper and wd40.
I made the mistake of leaving my miatas driveshaft under the car for 3 months while the engine was out of it... Needless to say the transmission end was, slightly rusted. 10 minutes of manual labor and it looked brand damn new.
