Post by Gottolovem »

I have been saving trannys from the crusher for a couple years now and i have recover some of the money.

One complete assembly 4.1 with 114k
Two complete assembly's 3.73 one with 160k other unknown but cycles through all gears.
All pass the input shaft turn test and i would put them in my car without hesitation.
Good complete trannys $300 plus freight

I also have a small mountain of gear boxes w/o bell & diff some good some bad.
And yes there are a few bell's with front diff's some good some bad.
Make reasonable offers

To the guys out there that rebuild or are planning on rebuilds (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE) if you are ever in Reno please come grab all the stuff that needs some work like complete case's with a single bad gear etc. YOU CAN HAVE THEM FOR FREE.

Do you got one for my 87?
Um not sure what info would help, but mine's a 3a, 5spd (3rd & 4th are grinders) 4wd . . .
I'd probably try and cheap it with a CL rideshare. I figgure $50 is good price to pay to have some hipster haul a 100lb gearbox over the sierra's.

You could take a 3.7 transmission and swap your 4.1 diff to it.

As stated above i have a 3.7 tranny and rear diff complete.
I will NOT sell just the gear box off of a known good oem transmission!
The price is 300 for the entire transaxle and 100 for the rear gear cluster to make it work in your car.
Imo changing the entire thing will provide piece of mind that your good to go.

Yea, I'd like to keep it as simple as possible - I don't think I'll be swapping anything more than the gearbox (for now) Lemme know if you change you mind, otherwise I'll just be keeping my eye open for a bay area/puget sound gearbox.
