[s-cars] Transmission for sale

[The Gagnons]

Bob,

I was the one who asked the list about the transmission, a lister responded
that they knew of a mechanic in DC that had one for sale.  I called the
mechanic about it and here is some info:

95 S6 transmission 5 spd, the mileage is somewhere between 68k and 78K ( I
spoke with both the mechanic and the original owner and they both could not
remember for sure).     The previous owner thought  the transmission had a
bad torsen differential evidenced by a squeak or chirp 3-4 time while
starting of under heavy load.  The mechanic thought it was just a bad
clutch, but the PO bought a 6 speed and had the clutch and trans replaced at
the same time.  The problem went away when both were replaced, so who know
what the problem was for sure.  The asking price was $900 plus shipping.
These transmissions are more than 150 lbs, so ups or fedex will not handle
them.  Between the uncertainty of the torsen and the hassle of shipping by
freight, I have not decided if I want to take a chance on this one.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to ship this thing and if the torsen could
really be a problem?

Jack

Recently there was a lister mentioning that his mechanic had an S6
transmission for sale.  Who was this, and approximately how much money does
the mechanic want for the trans?
