Default tranny swap opinions?

Ok. My car is nice and boosted. I just ordered a clutch from Mike (6 puck sprung) I figured my tranny is a CX tranny and it has close to 200k on it so I might as well change it when I do the clutch so I called around. The bone yard I bought my motor from has a Y8 tranny with 100k on it for $350. I figure this is reasonable. Every other place in my area wants $500 and up. So do you guys think this is reasonable? I emailed Mike to make sure the clutch is the same regardless, I pretty sure it is. Let me know your thoughts.

I wouldn't pay that much. Search around a bit before you by that one. You can get them cheaper.

Y8 trannies are better than the Z6 trannies. I got mine for $175, look around.

It seems cheap for around here. I got prices up to $650. I also would rather have the Y8 tranny. Steel shift forks. This place is very reputable and will warranty the tranny and guarantee it's good. I would pay more for good customer service and a warranty. I guess I'm buying it anyway but thanks for the help.
