I got a whole Tranny!!
WOO HOOO!!! I just had a most nerve racking auction on eBay end.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cg...tem=1809952148
Check out the high bidder. :D I almost had a heart attack when it wouldn't refresh with 5 seconds left.
1986 4+3 Transmission
As far as I know it works 100%, but I don't even care if the O/D unit doesn't work. I can always swap the 4-speed onto my current O/D which works.
Woo hoo! And it is right in NJ.

Good thing the seller decided to axe that BS neg feedback bidder. The other guy's only transaction was the exact same item he backed out on paying.

Congrats. :) Its probably better to hang onto your OD, '86 wasn't a good year for either manual or auto. That ST-10 should be just as bullet proof as the one you've got now though.
I lost a cherry 1985 Corvette on Ebay because the computer locked up less than 30 seconds from the end. :eek:
