As one who just replaced his 5 speed tranny, I'd have to agree with BruceLee...

Call Salvage yards and ask them if they have one ON PREMISES to sell you, how many miles it has on it, etc.

The reason I say "on premises" is that all the salvage yards are now online together and will be quoting you $$ for the same tranny, located elsewhere. They just drop ship it to you. The actual owner of the tranny will be cheaper.

I paid $1650 + 150 for shipping for mine. It had 40k on it. Paid my mechanic $400 to put it in (6.5 hours). He's a Porsche certified guy that works at a dealership and moonlights for far less $$.
