Transmission Help!

1sl0w88 · February 1st, 2009, 10:39 PM

I need to know if this is a good deal.

My next-door neighbor has a Borg Warner transmission for sale and he wants $300 for it. He says it was rebuilt and only has about 400 miles on it. Are these good transmissions and is there anything that I need to look for? I need another one because the syncroes are gone for second gear in mine and it is really getting to be a pain shifting from first to third.

Any and all help would be appreaciated.

synchronizes aren't that much i believe
it would cost more replacing the whole tranny than just a synchronize. and why are you shifting from 1 to 3

it is just a stock t-5 but if its rebuilt its worth it.

Im shifting from first to third because it grinds like a bitch going into second.

why would it cost more? just pulls one and the other bolts right up. then have the other tranny built and keep it around or sell it

300 bucks for a rebuilt t5 is about normal.
