I have an '01 5 speed with 70,000 miles, and my local shop told me today that my leaking transmission fluid is a bad output seal, which is a result of the bad bearing on the left output shaft. They don't rebuild trannys, and they called the Nissan dealership and they don't recommend it. Anyone have experience or opinions to share on this situation?I am forced to consider new ($2500 w/ 1 yr warranty), used ($2000 w/ 90 day warranty) or rebuilding ($1500 assuming nothing else is wrong). Argggghhh!

Sorry...I know a bit about rebuilding autos but manual trans rebuilds are definitely not my area.
