I to am switching my 77 4 spd to a 5 spd. I got mine from a friend who got it from a wrecking yard. It was marked 81 to 83 ZX. I looked it over and appeared to be the same in length, width and bolt hole patterns as another 5 spd I have witch I know will bolt up to an L28. I took it to a transmiision shop to have it rebuilt ( I put a 5 spd in before this one that felt good on the bench but not in the car, no 5th with the car on the road ) and was told it would bolt up. The rebuild is going to include all new bearings and syncros. Does 450.00 sound fair.

I have been quoted $750 to $900 for a rebuilt 5 spped, sounds good to me.

def. sounds like a good price. 'specially for a later 5spd

I've asked this question before but where do you guys get new synchro rings from? Can't get them in the UK.

$450.00 to rebuild your 5spd., if you carry it in to the shop - sounds reasonable to me.

$750.00 to $800.00 for a rebuilt 5spd. also sounds reasonable. You can figure $150.00/$250.00 for a good used but worn 5spd., then $100.00 for the mechanic to go pull one out of the junk yard. In which case he is responsible for making sure it's a good rebuildable unit of the proper type/year to start with. Depends on where you are and how plentiful 5spd.s are.

$850.00/ $875.00 to swap-in a fully rebuilt 5spd. - into your car - Drive Out so to speak...

FWIW,
