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
