Cheap and transmission work do not go hand in hand.

Get it rebuilt right and quit beating it to shit.

My trans on my 94 had 174k w/ no rebuilds. Take care of it and it will take care of you. Change the fluid at required intervals.

I often wondered why rebuilt trans were so fragile. I think it's the case that ultimately gets worn or ruined and becomes problematic, same failures occur no matter how many times the parts that failed are replaced. I would get a used unit, but your call on what you end up doing.
