Blown Transmission - 2006
Hello, I have a 2006 Sedan and just got word from the dealership that my automatic transmission is blown (no reverse and metal shavings in the oil). They want $5K+ for parts and labor which is insane. Given that I do this myself, I have seen transmissions for $500 on eBay. I will be calling local junkyards in hopes of finding one close to me but if I can't source one, would buying one from eBay be fine? If so, do earlier model transmissions from both G35s and 350Zs (2003 - 2005) work?
Last but not least, I did an engine swap in my Integra back when I was in highschool and have since not done anything with cars. I realize that replacing a transmission is up there in terms of difficulty but is it something that one can do with a little bit of common sense? I've tried searching for guides to get an idea of the work required but have come up short.
If you guys have any feedback/suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.

Download a FSM from this link. http://psedog.com/cars/fsm/g35/ It'll have the transmission replacement procedure. Not sure what other transmissions would be compatible but I would think any from the 04-06 sedans, 04-07 coupes and 04-07 350's would be potential matches. Hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in.
