M47 - Pig Problem Update -buy a used tranny from a scrap yard. 200

The local U-Wrench-It yard near my house charges $35 for a RWD manual tranny, and that's with a 30 day money-back unconditional warranty. However, the turnover rate is high and a car usually doesn't sit in the yard longer than 3-6 weeks before being crushed.

I was tempted to pull an M46 off an '85 240 Turbo last fall, just in case I needed it someday, but the car was crushed an hour before I returned to pull the parts I was after. There are a few other yards in the area that I'm sure have this transmission in stock, and I can't imagine any of them charging more than $100.

Save yourself some serious cash: Buy a used one, install it in your driveway, run some Synthetic fluid in it for 1,000 miles, change it again with Synthetic, and then follow the regular service schedule.

God bless,
Fitz Fitzgerald.
