Found a y8 transmission for sale near me! I need some honest opinions on how much one would cost before I say yes to pick it up! clean. "This is the one from 96-00 EX models with the steel shift forks and better gearing. Trans is in great shape, no grinding problems or slips."

LMK what you guys think

gears are the same for 92-00 ex/si trans
as for the steel/alum shift forks, neither will be an issue if you know how to shift.
good condition (no grinds, pop-outs, solid isb, etc) $200 max.

I was going to say $150 would be a decent deal.

I was quoting the guy, lol. $200 max. Sounds like a good deal!

$150 would be a really good deal.
S40's usually sell for more $$$ than S20's because they are younger.

I'm picking it up tomorrow morning. Anyone have any suggestions on what I should check before I actually buy it?

EVERY SINGLE BOLT HOLE YOU CAN SEE!

make sure the threads are not stripped out of any holes or next thing you know you grab a gear and the motor mount bolt gets ripped out and bounces around your engine bay like a pinball

check the isb for excessive play, if there is, lowball because the trans will have to be torn down.

The guy's craigslist post was flagged...and he isn't answering any of my text. Damn
