Where to look for a 6 speed???

[NapaBavarian]

I put an ad up on std, and have looked over www.car-part.com, but does anyone have any other ideas on where to search?

Ebay, Craigslist.

good luck. Junkyyard is my vote. They aren't up there too often. Please post where and how much yours is though, I want one soon.

Any input on an early or a late box? I think they changed traneys when they went to the 6.0.

Are the bellhousing bolt patterns the same betwen the 7.3l and the 6.Ohno?

I imagine that that would be the only big concern...certainly, an earlier gearbox will be easier to find. But, "easier" and "easy" are two different words...not to mention getting it mounted.

I wish I could have done a ZF6...the extra gear would be nice, and I like the idea of having Reverse and 1st right across from each other. Too much fabrication, though...and way too much $$...and my ZF5 does a pretty good job

I've seen em in Auto trade in this area. Rebuild at a pretty reasonably price.
Just a thought.

I found a "core" claimed to be a waranty item for $1000 +ship outright, no knowledge as to the problem was though, I can rebuild it myself, so I might bite...

I think you can get one for about 500 at a local yard, or 150 in that shape. I have not priced them though....

screw it - you're engaged, no more projects. Better hurry up and buy stuff.

I'd be hard pressed to get a 5 speed for that, 1k seems a bit high, but not that high, $500 would be a bargan, even in this condition.

I think I'm gonna bite it and just spend the $$$, I found a general overhaul kit for $400 and syncros for another $400, but might need nothing , so I'll see... I cant find a rebuilt for less than $2000 + $1000 core
