Quick help on trans decision please!!!

[coolasacuc]

I have located a G260/6 (solid bellhousing) with 150k on it for $400 shipped to my door
or
A trans from a '85 318i for $225 at a yard down the street with (130k).

ive heard the 318 trans is weak but never from someone thats had one.

Ill be making up to 500hp

what you guys think?

[Adrian_Visser]

The g240 definitely is a weaker transmission I would stay away from that, a 260 is good for at least 400hp

$400 seems a little steep for a 260/6.

I got mine with like 200k for $80. Shipped.

[coolasacuc]

yeah the prices are all over the place
did you go to a vendor or just personal sale?

[chadthestampede]

Personal sale. Check mye28, there are usually a few over there.

$80 shipped for a 260 is not a typical price.

If you can get the 260/6 for $300 shipped I would get that over 240.

$80 shipped for a 260 is not a typical price.

Well, yeah, I'm just saying they're out there, if you have some patience you can get a decent deal.
