So, I need a tranny

When it first started it was just bad enough to where I thought maybe my MAF sensor was bad. Over the last 2 days it has gotten worse.
So today I tested the maf and all tested ok (I didn't think it was the problem after the problem worsened, just wishful thinking I guess.).
So I pull my tranny pan and find a crap load of metal shavings. To make matters worse the shavings are magnetic. I can't tie up a bay in our shop long enough to overhaul the trans. (Including parts of the planetary gear set that the magnetic shavings came from.)

Now I need a new/reman/used trans. Anyone with experience dealing with distributors online who can ship me one for a reasonable price?? I'd like to hear some feedback on who's good/who's not.
What's a fair price for a used unit?

Also looking at Alldata it says book time is 6.6 hours. I've replaced plenty of transmissions, but none on Nissans. Looking for input on difficulty from people who have been through it.

Anyone have any recommendations on where to get one??
So far my cost for a dealer reman is $2350 or I found one from rhyno online for $2017.

No used trans in the junk yards......anyone know where to get one???
For $2300 I'd have the tranny shop do the whole job.

I'm not sure about an ebay trans. Even junk yard transmissions usually have a 30 or 90 day warranty.

EDIT: You know after looking that may be the route I end up taking.

Either this one with lots of miles
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TRANS...spagenameZWDVW

or this one with less miles
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TRANS...spagenameZWD1V

both carry a 99 day warranty.

ebay trans.
might be time to sell if I throw one of these in.
