Re: Lando's 94' MX-3 GS
Wow, why so damn much? You can get a tranny from the wreckers for a few hundred and get them to put that in. I don't think even my custom tranny will cost me that much, $4000, just wow!

Re: Lando's 94' MX-3 GS
yikes!!!@!@!@
I converted to manual, and the price including buying all the parts was still under $500.
$4000 is a rip off. sorry to hear that.

btw: is that an automatic you are fixing?
