Default advice on buying an E351 trans

I am in need of a new trans (I'm an idiot). I have been looking at e351s on eBay from wrecks with low mileage. Is there anything I should look out for? I see a lot going for $800-900 does that sound about right? Any advice would be great. I am probably going to have aamco or another shop do the swap (aamco prob not the best choice. I live in S MD).

Also, I was thinking of getting the TRD clutch as a replacement? Unless anyone knows of something better for the money that is what I'm going with. I really appreciate any help.

EDIT/Update: Ended up getting a trans with only about 1000 miles on it for $825 shipped to a shop.

i dont know if i would have aamco do it.... That being said, go to car-parts.com i think is the website or just carparts.com Its where i bought my transmission i had built from. Also go TRD all the way for the clutch just my opinion.

I would google and find the best import tranny shop around you.

I got my trans from a junk yard for $500. I used the exedy oem+ clutch, works great!
