for sale bmw rebuild transmition 5 speed - $1850 (Van Nuys)

[jfahuna]

Have a rebuild 5 speed transmition for bmw model 2002/tii 2000cs.320i

1 year warantee.

Install a known good part.

Above price does not include core charge $450. of a rebuildable 5 speed trans.

Can install for additional$$$

I would like it if you gave me your ideal price, maybe we can come to a fair agreement with your worn out questionable gearbox..

You are charging 1850 for a 5 speed transmission? Is it just me or is this ridiculously high? I am looking for one, but I have called around and been quoted 500 dollars at the most. I have a perfectly functioning 4 speed that I'd be willing to give for credit towards a 5 speed. I just drive on the freeway too much and need a few less RPMs!

1900 is pretty insane. I found a five speed with 3.90 open different at a local junkyard 400 for the pair... even if I have to replace a few parts in it , it would never cost 1900 on top of it I get a diff!

Thanks,

You're not looking to sell this are you? hehe. I'm desperate. I have my poor little 02 pulled apart at a shop right now. My car came with a "great" 5 speed (looked amazing, however it's completely shot!). So now i'm in a hold pattern here waiting to see if I can find one, or if I have to put my 4 speed back in.....seems like a great waste of time and a few hundred bucks!

Don't think I'll forgive myself if I ever get rid of it. Sorry good luck with your search I'm sure you'll find one.

Thanks,

Jesus forgives everyone....especially those who have an extra tranny sitting around

[2fast4u]

Well I plan on installing it I'm running a 4spd right now. I hope jesus forgives me when I hit the freeway haha.

Thanks,

What you guys are describing is considered a "core transmission".  Jack is offering a rebuilt transmission and he's right around the correct market price for a proper rebuild with customer provided core.

I thought I was crazy for thinking $1850 for a rebuilt transmission was reasonable. Used ones are 600-750 nowadays, and those are gambles.

Now myself like most DIY hack BMW owners; and semi poor types in this for hobby sake, rebulit prices always send one looking elswhere. Below is from Metric Mechanics site. Core price is the 2nd #.
I'll agree that used ones are the better route if you find a good one however 10 to 20 years ago they were easy to pick up in the bone yards. Nowadays, not so much.

 

Someone like those re-made bumper guys need to reverse engineer in China the dog-leg 5 speed and sell them.

 

Are you listening?

 

Certainly as a result of this thread many a used suspect transmisions will now increase.

 

But what do I know?

The owner of this thread called me on my cell phone. He was absolutely right, and after we spoke for a minute or two, I recant my "wow that seems like a lot!!!". He was very professional, and I hope his transmission finds a good home! I have a lead on one right now that I am hoping pans out seeing as my baby is ripped apart right now!

Thank you all for your input!

Add: Some bearings for the 245/5 speed OD gearbox have been NLA; as we see in this post and discussion, they're getting more valuable in any condition. Reminds me I have one which shifts beautifully but 'whirs' a bit in 1st - 3rd gear ... not enough to justify a rebuild just yet. -KB
