WTB - - GETRAG 245 5-SPEED TRANS

[vroom]

Still looking to buy a Getrag 245 5-speed OD transmission to convert from the four speed in my '76 2002.  Just checked 20 pages in the "parts for sale" classifieds.  Nothing.  I've had some responses in my search but none have panned-out.  Any offers/leads will be much appreciated.  Thanks!

I’ve seen a few for sale on Craigslist and Facebook this week. You can use searchtempest.com to browse vast swaths of the US. 
 

Good luck!

At what price range is more likely the issue.

I've got a nice spare sitting in my garage I'd sell for $1800. I'm in Huntington Beach, Ca, or Mountain View, Ca. I can ship from both locations and can have the trans in either city this weekend only (I'm traveling to and from both cities)

Where are you located?

Williamggruff - I'm a regular on CL and marketplace, but have yet to see what you claim is "out there."  Have never heard of searchtempest, but when done here I'm gonna try it.  Thanks!!        conkitchen - To me, price is ALWAYS an issue.  I've been a "collector" all my life, have been priced out of the hobby, and most of the stuff I've accumulated I couldn't afford now.  Have always refused to play the mindless money game on principle, not simply because I couldn't afford it.  Who I buy from is almost as important a consideration.  I have seldom been burned and am surrounded by great memories of wonderful people who've helped along the way.

danco - Thanks for the offer.  Although I'm at least a fourth generation Californian, I don't plan to be back in the near future.  If we can work out shipping (cost for me, convenience for you), I'm anxious to learn more.  Great pix!  Thanks!!

Lorin - I live in the White Mountains of Arizona, near Show Low.  Long way from Atlanta.

 

With all the help I've received from this great forum, I'm more confident than ever my little Bimmer will soon have another gear.  Higher top end, at lower revs!  Much obliged for the support.  Rick in Pinedale
