Rebuilt E30 5 speed transmissions, Getrag spec e30

[JGood]

Very interested. Is pickup available to save on shipping? What counts as a good core? I have a perfectly good trans that had one of the rear mounting tabs broken off. I have 2 others as well just laying around in decent shape, would love to give all 3 and get a rebuilt for $400 picked up.

Yes, PM'd

Now in use in over 12 spec e30 race cars. We have transmissions in cars from Atlanta to California. Zero issues to date. A quality rebuild for a fair price.

Can you do a 260/6 as well?

What's the turn around time? If I give you my tranny, will you rebuild mine or merely give me one that is already rebuilt?

Do you paint them, too?

Yes no problem.

Normally we do it on an exchange basis so I take your trans and just give you one ready to go. I have a couple here ready to go. Sorry we dont paint them.

so in theory if i sent you a core that was almost perfect inside and you sent me one back that was rebuilt (thus making it perfect inside) id have to pay the same as if i sent you one that was shit inside?

i guess either way you are gonna tear it down but parts costs will change

Yes. 80-90% of the cost is in taking it apart and putting it back together again. It's a great deal. If you have a great transmission, why the hell would you send it to him anyway?

I can rebuild yours if you like and it could be cheaper or it could be more. I take my chances on your core coming back in good enough shape to re-use some parts. Sometimes it works out in my favor and sometimes it doesnt. The main motivation in the exchange program is that most of these to date have been for race cars. The race car guys dont want to wait two weeks to get theirs back (including shipping time in most cases). If you wanna bring me yours that is fine but it does take a bit longer. It could save you some money in the long run if you can afford the down time.

Interesting. So is there a list of parts you always replace?

Normally all the seals are done and 3-4th gear synchros, Usually the main shaft bearing too. Each job is different but generally these are the parts that get replaced the most.

i really need to sell my convertible so i can finish getting parts for the coupe motor swap... looks like i have to add another 600 to the list.

[andrew240z]

Price is going up to 750 as of 3/1/11. I have three units on the shelf ready to go. Also offering E36 Getrags now too...
