Did you just buy it or sell it?

Just sold it. Purchased in 1997. Carson rebuilt the engine for me. Lot's of fun times in that bad boy.

That’s nice, Paul. Bring it by and I’ll show you how to buy new rear tires for it.

Does this look like a $4,000 5 speed manual to anyone?

 

[Cdog]

Unfortunately I have to pull all this shit off to put the new one in.

Sent my kid off to University of North Dakota a few years ago in a 93 Jeep YJ with a manual. None of her friends know how to drive a stick. Pretty sad. The Jeep is back in CA now and mine. It will be my daily driver when I retire.

HAHA! SCCA has us over a barrel on these POS transmissions. They had to go with straight cut gears to get them to last more than a season. Both my cars are down for trans rebuilds right now. I can barely swallow the cost to rebuild but the work to replace is a total pain in the asshole. Have to pull the whole engine to get to it.

I’m headed this direction after 1 more season of SRF.
