HI GUYS

Here's the deal.

I got a guy who got a 5 speed manual transmission. He says I can take it to a tranny mechanic and let him check it out.

I didn't ask him how much for it YET

My wife and I talked about it and she recommended that I call a tranny mechanic her friend know and that he was honest.

HERE'S WHAT THE TRANNY MECHANIC SAID.

" I can open up the transmission but I still can tell how it will perform in the car

till I install it

"

I'll be honest with you guys on this message board. I don't know did- a- lee squat about transmission. However, if this guy is telling me the truth. How in GOD'S name can he say he don't know till he installs it

I figure when he opens it up and see all the gears look good and not all ground up ~ why would it not WORK IN MY CAR WITH THE ADDICTIONAL EXPENSE OF HIM INSTALLING IT

IS HE SNOWING ME FOR THE BUCK $ $ $

Or as my lovely wife said, " . . . why not just go out and buy a rebuilt one and forget about it. The rebuilt tranny will come with some kind of WARRENTY

O.K. GUYS I'M IN YOUR HANDS AGAIN

NEED YOU EXPERT STUFF ON THIS ONE.

P.S. My wife first suggested that I buy a NEW TRANNY. I think she's a little NUTS

a GREAT GAL, but just a little bit off . . . lol

Seriously guys: WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND

GOD BLESS YOU GUYS. I DON'T KNOW BUT YOU DO THANK GOD.
