Tad bit out of my price range for sure. In fact, to fit my budget, someone would have to be offering one free, bring it to me and install it.

Of course I'd have a new friend and provide plenty of beer to consume...hmmm...

You don't know some of these guys very well, it will cost you more to keep em happy in beer than it would to buy two of the trannys from the dealer:stupid: !!!

You can aford beer, and not Z parts-where are your prioritiesLOL !!!!

You misunderstand...I can't really afford either, but beer is easier to sneak past the little lady.

Even if I needed a few kegs, I could pass that off as a "party expense."

I understand, Beer is the Primary Lubricant!

It is a good thing the car won't run on it, imagine how much it would be!

Up til about 1997, I used to think of beer as "The official currency of the .U.S.A."LOL

You could go to a ball game ( any kind- football, basebal, BB, tennis...) and get a beer for $1.25? and now (at the Jac in Cleveland, OH) it's $4!??

If you needed a favour, you first bought a six-pack, invited your buddy, then negotiated the rest while you worked ( and drank!) And imported beer was something "extra valuable.":p

Back then you could even buy Bud, Miller, etc. oversees!

PrOxLaMuS-

I think the newer auto trans from a diesel Maxima could probably handle a turbo. Except nobody knows how to put one in a Z with all the electronic control stuff. (Will?)

anyone in seattle area interested in a working auto tranny out of a 81 turbo can have it for a nominal fee need to get it out of sight of momma.
