I still have it but the mounting spots are broken on one side. Could be fixed if you know someone that can weld cast aluminum. If I sell the car without the tranny I am just going to take it back to where I got it from. ---

Kind of off topic but this is the second one I have seen recently with a bad tranny. I have NEVER heard of these failing before this. Anyone have any insight? ---

typically when a ZF box fails there is too much hard part damage making a junk yard find much more economically viable. it’s been a few weeks, are you going to fix this thing and sell it or what? ---

I got screwed on a tranny deal and lost a lot of time. I honestly just don’t feel like going through the process of getting another one. Project cars eat up a lot of my time. Most always more profitable though, just don’t have the time. I want to concentrate on selling my more expensive cars so I don’t have all my money tied up. ---
