marlinh, i'm going to take a wild guess that this is yours.

Yes it is. Since I am doing the swap, I don't need these parts. I got the car from someone who blew the head gasket and decided to retire his tercels. As far as I know, the trans worked but all I did was drive it home several miles worrying more about keeping the engine running than how the trans shifted. I don't want to vouch for it since I really don't know the history of the car. I do know that this is not the original transmission as the bell housing has paint marks on it from a wrecker, but I do not know when it was replaced.

the auto trans holds up pretty good on these cars, if someone wants a spare if they have an auto trans tercel, this would be a great price just to have it for that eventual day you will have to replace it. Most repair shops will charge you about $1000-2000 to overhaul an auto trans, buying a working spare at a price like this is a bargain, even if you will not need it for another 5 years.

Bummer. If it was on the Island I would buy it. -Even if it was only to use the transmission cooler lines (mine are home-made after I destroyed the originals removing my trans.).

If you know someone driving through the Kootenays I can hang onto it for you for a while.

Thanks, but don't bother hanging on to it for me. You'd probably be holding on to it for awhile since I don't know anyone or have any plans myself to go over that way. I'm not desperate for it since mine works fine. It would just be nice to have a spare since they're not easy to find. I'm not even too sure about the gear ratios in the front differential with the automatics (if it's compatible with my '84).

Just putting it out there...If anyone wants this transmission let me know. It is going to the crusher otherwise.
