I picked up a used trans from craigslist that appears to be in great working condition. Supposedly from a 96 coupe. It was pulled from the car after the clutch pulled the bolts out of the flywheel. I guess it just never got put back together.

I pulled the fill plug and put some fresh fluid in it and ran it through all of the gears on the bench at about 500 rpm. No odd bearing noises or anything that seems suspect. Inside the case is nearly spotless and the synchro rings that are visible from the fill and drain plugs looks near perfect. Remaining old fluid was clean and no metal worth mentioning.

The DMFW is within acceptable range of motion, but the pressure plate bolt threads are junk. It needs to be Heli-coil repaired if to be reused.

The Pressure plate looks ok, except for where the throwout fork contacted it.

The friction disc is toast.

The bellhousing looks good. All threads are intact and it has the aluminum buffer plates intact.


My goal WAS to swap this into the 88 coupe, but after realizing how expensive parts are for this trans/swap, im going T56.

My questions are:

What is this stuff worth?

Is it worth more as a "kit", or as individual items?

It the flywheel worth repairing?

Thanks in advance fellas,
