Hi all -- My 1991 525 came with a 5sp ZF5PH18 5 speed auto trans. The torrington bearing went and now it needs to be replaced. Was quoted $4500 and don't like that price. Anyone know if I can find a used one or?

Thanks!

A new bearing or a new trans?

Would you consider converting to a manual?

Do you want a used or rebuilt unit?

The bearing took out a lot of components, so need another trans, hoping for something used. Would like a manual swap but I can't do the work myself and it sounds like an expensive job.
