3 new cars at carson pick&pull

[Gottolovem]

I'm heading to carson today to get a 4.11 tranny out of an 85 there are two more 84's
Anyone hunting for specifics ?

[Gottolovem]

Well my j yard adventure today was not the gold mind i was expecting my reason for the trip was the 4.11 tranny in the 85. When i got there the tranny would not shift s**t both axles were already out so i decided to pull it anyway hoping the front differential was still good. upon removal the clutch looked new so i took it off and sure enough new BRAND NEW ink stamp still on the disk surface.
After pulling the front diff/bellhousing i noticed that the 5th gear synchronizer was cockeyed after poping it loose with a screwdriver the tranny cycled through all the gears again but there is definitely something up with 5th gear so decided to just purchase the 4.11 diff.
At the cash register The lady started adding every little piece throw out bearing, clutch fork lever all of it differential even the diff cover she says that will be 175.00 WHAT FOR A FRONT DIFF how much is the whole tranny she says a transmission is $99 but this tranny has a front diff (she knew her car parts). I ended up taking the hole thing tranny and diff,good window regulator and clutch for 200 bucks OUCH i figured the gear box was worth the 25 extra even with the wonky 5th.
Oh i forgot abought the BRAND NEW tvsv at the register oops. I'm an extremely honest guy but I did not return to pay for it they were going to crush it anyway.
I really prefer the new cashiers that don't know what there looking at.

so transmission they sell for $99 and front diff they want $175,well i dont know price in nv but in idaho they want 200 for the tranny as is no returns only store credit,

[Gottolovem]

I typically pay $100 for transmission complete because the cashier doesn't generally realize it's a unique transmission.

Ted i already have the parts you requested in the bone yard

Yeah I was once at a pick n pull and they pretty much charged for every little bit, was not pleased!

[florykitty]

sometimes they are pretty nasty,charge for every bolts - nuts,and if you dont want pay what they ask for ,they throw it in damster in front of you,one time i was gon buy a roof rack of a 85 Tercel and it was broke in one side they ask 25 ,and i sad is broke i can offer 20 for ,and they throw it away,all depends whos at the cashier on that day,
