Every shop will insert some drama into their story to justify and expensive rebuild. I had the same problem with my old bmw... every shop added their take on the problems with the ZF 6speed (there were 7.5 million produced and in everything from the XR6, BMWs to landrover discoverys etc etc... so something must have been good about them). One shop quoted me $12k for a rebuild. I bought a box off ebay for $1500 and had it going the next day.
As suggested in your other thread, install a low km box from a wrecker, add some new oil and go. While we have seen a couple of threads here on this box, these are generally a good box for a 4speed.
I might be wrong.
