[Mistawall]

i saw it on ebay yesterday but i was at my friends house and didnt save it.. now i cant find it.. anyone have a link for one? or selling one? found a 260 for my swap so ill need one of these. unless someone has a zf320 for $350 or less? im still torn as to which tranny i should use but whateever

[nyChris]

Use a zf320 if possible.

you can get the g260 brace here: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=238707.

I have that brace. Fitment was fine, but I needed to drill out the tranny mount wholes a little bit to get the bigger studs of the e21 mounts to fit.

[Mistawall]

do you reccomend the Zf for ease of swap? or better tranny in general?

Both

Ouch. I picked one up from a junk yard recently for 150.

thats what they're worth at the yard... on the used market they're worth what he paid to as low as $350.

i don't see whats so "ouch" about it to be honest!

$440 > $150

I picked up the V8 version of the ZF for ~$250ish

Check out www.car-parts.com for junk yard parts info.

Eh, it's a great tranny and though not uncommon don't pop up all the time. There might have been a slight premium paid, but I don't see it as really out of line.

yea i was anticipating 3-400 anyway so 440 shipped I'm ok with. sure i may have been able to find a better deal with some digging but I'm lazy and i wanted the part now. not that I'm using it yet still need other shit
