what to do with old transmissions
I have 2 pink milkshake transmissions. I was just going to take them to the metal recyclable guy who is just down the road.
seems like such a waste but..
anything I should grab off them before I chuck them?
please advise?

Cant think of much, other than some sensors if you want them. I tossed a transfer case because the shift acutator was funky. Hurts but they are a dime a dozen out there. Picked up the new(used) one for like $300 I think.

Call some local shops and see I'd they'd pay you more for the cores to use for remanufacturing

I have a good 2WD trans I can't bring myself to get rid of. I know the feeling. I guess it would be worth something on craigslist, in my case, at least?

I tried selling a fully functioning 2WD transmission with no luck. Everyone wanted the 4WD version.

I sold one of mine for like $40 to a guy who needed a core. Otherwise it would’ve sat on a shelf.

A quick Goggle revealed a huge list of companies willing to buy it from you for core.

Wish I lived up there as I'd take them both...I can rebuild them cheaper than a used junk unit...I could use those to get ahead instead of behind on them.

Bought this 99 in 01 and haven't let it go since! Valve dropped at 195k so I rebuilt it with reman heads, new rings and one new piston...tough to find the correct numbered one but I did...still had the original hatch...I soaped it and did a light hatch to help the new rings seat...that was in 2015...since then I did a basic lift and put some VTX 18x9 inch wheels with 0 offset...Ive grounded the rear locker, ran a diff extension into the gas cap, did the hood piston mod...GM Alternator...13WL brakes..30 year ASE Master Tech with more tools than sense, so I quit everything and work at home now.

Pay for shipping and I will send them both to you. guessing that would be more than getting a core local. you should have lots of them local since your in the salt belt and these trucks are getting to the falling apart stage.
