I feel your pain, my car has been sitting for like three months now due to tranny problems. Good thing is though, it will be back in operation here in a couple weeks. **** 3-4 shift fork and synchros :banghead:

Man, this is a trend. I have been in a situation like that. You all might remember my post when i said my transmission fvcked up and i found a trans from a 95 cam to put in my 94. Well, I was Downtown (In augusta) on a friday night and I was headin home it must have been like 1am or so, i had to cut it short cause I had to work the next morning, so I notice it seemed to go no further than 2nd gear, car wouldnt go no faster than 45 (Obviously) So i pulled up at a red light then POOF I see smoke and im like holy shiiiiaaat!??!, Get out, pop the hood. Look under the car and see all this trans fluid. So i call my mechanic, the only Guy other than ME to work on my car. He comes and picks it up and I start doing some searching around for a transmission and found a good one for $250. Yay, Although, Now I think I may need a water pump in the near future.

This shouldn't be a surprise, but it probably isn't a good idea to cheap out on your transmission.
If your transmission dies, a high quality performance rebuild it the only option... or a brand new transmission altogether. I wouldn't trust buying someone else's transmission, especially not from one of our cars. Let's face it, they are driven hard, that is the point of the car.

a used trans is like a used engine, you hope it is ok
