Should I buy this?

Seems to be a cheap tranny
http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/pts/5135348331.html

I've got 111k miles on my car, engine has 5k since rebuild. Transmission went through a flush a few times in the last 10k miles but I figure this is pretty cheap. Maybe I just buy it and toss it in my garage as a 'just in case'. I'm running 515whp & 615wheel torque.


Anyone have any transmission failures or are these things known as bullet-proof?

If you plan on keeping your car a while why not? Good price I think depending on shipping

Doesn't hurt, but these transmissions are known to be "bulletproof".

If you never use the extra trans and get rid of the car you can always sell it again
