904 rebuild/swap advice

Internally it's the same transmission as any other non-lockup 904 (I'm assuming yours is a non-lockup model). It's a very simple trans. to rebuild but does require a few tools the average persone may not have. That price quoted to you is WAAAAAY high. Sounds like a price the crooks at RAAMCO would quote. You can send yours to either Andrews Racing or Cope Racing and have it rebuilt and pay all the shipping charges both ways and still pay less than that and it will be rebuilt by professionals. You may be able to save a few bucks too if you ask around town and try to find a Mopar guy that does them. I can usually do one for about $400-500 depending on how many hard parts I have to change. But were 1,000 miles apart. Bummer.
