I am looking at a used transmission that has a fairly fresh rebuild (less than 300 miles) according to the shop. The shop said that synchros have been refreshed(need to get a definition on that one) and first gear replaced (need to check if they mean dogteeth). The deal is $750 and my disassembled trans that I havedone some work to but don't have the time to get it reassembled.
So opinions are welcomed is this a good deal or not? Also this shop does have experience w/ Porsches and other euro cars This post has been edited by ws91420: Mar 10 2006, 09:07 PM |

That is an option but still price would be about the same and my first gear is questionable. The guy I have talked to seems like a straight shooter he started his business working on high end cars in a one stoplight podunk town and it has thrived. Can't survive in a town like that if you treat people badly. The trans came from a car that he did a six conversion on.
