not even scrap-metal value?  surely milkshaked ones can be rebuilt with new clutches etc?

 

Yeah you'd get scrap 

 

You can rebuild a stuffed trans but then you're up for a rebuild which cost more than a second hand trans

[k31th]

but then you'd have a "built" trans, not a OEM one,  

[Puffwagon]

You'd have a stock rebuilt trans, no upgrades and still pay more than a second hand stock trans

[k31th]

who'd bother paying to "rebuild" it to OEM level, they'd always be upgrading in the process... so you'd have a better than OEM one  cheaper than a "built" box, probably, as they have to disassemble and re-assemble a normal "built" one

I offered the bloke around $1500 for the box and he said I was dreaming 

[k31th]

if @Puffwagon can find you his $700 link, he should be able to backtrack on his "dreaming" statement, based on evidence...  but of course, you could always find somebody else who's willing to sell it for a reasonable price.

Haha old mate will go to the grave with his $3200 trans lol.

 

Here's the $700 ono trans

 

You could also just use a na trans up to 300rwkw or so, provided it was tuned.

 

Here's a whole ass conversion minus tailshaft.

Some decent buying there, but getting over from SA prob make it pretty costly. I’m in Melbs. Guess could road trip for the right buy.

There will be some stuff in Vic, I just looked in my area.

I’m seeing a lot more NA wrecks come up. So I’d be pretty safe getting a ZF box out of an NA FG XR6 then? I don’t anticipate major mods on this car, maybe some basic stuff like injectors, cat and a tune.
