Hey Mike, Are we talking about the 200R4? No core charge. I think it was about $1700 + $400 shipping, but I could check back in my receipts to let you know for sure. Gear Star's current pricing is on their website. (http://www.gearstar.net/about/).
Yes, included torque converter, trans oil cooler, dipstick, synthetic oil, tv cable... pretty much everything except the shifter parts. These I got from Shift Works. Trevor
