I have been looking into this for a long time. It makes absolutelty no sense to buy a used tranny unless you're getting a super deal from someone you know is selling a good unit. On ebay you'll see tranny's selling for $1000 to $1300 or more that have 50k, 80k, even 100k or more that "worked great when the tranny was removed". The " internet junkyard" network is even more expensive. You can get a freshly rebuilt (or have yours rebuilt) for $1400 at places like Kormex, Jack's or the "$600 plus parts" rebuild that you see on this board. They are from reliable and trusted vendors known to this board. I couldn't imagine buying a used unit with 85k unit for a few buck less knowing that, even if the tranny was good when it was dropped, the synchros will grinding soon.
