All kidding aside, about 18 months after I got my boxster my 5 speed tranny had a really bad 2nd gear synchro and way back in 2005 they didn't have rebuild kits. So I just saved up the money, bought a used tranny for $1500, and had it installed.
I don't even think about it any more. Pony up for a used tranny and get down the road. It's not the end of the world.
Plus, if you put a working tranny in the car you can probably sell it for $7500-9000... it just makes good sense to repair the car and keep it or then sell it.
$4500 is an awful price since the motor is running... don't sell it for this amount of money.
