I'm in contact with Sunrise about a 5-speed tranny. They're in Ranch Cordova, CA. Anybody had experience with them? The price seems right for a rebuilt 5-speed, and they said its only about $30 to ship it to MA.

No, but $30 shipping is a steal. I paid more than that to ship a diff. recently.

How much are they asking for a rebuilt tranny?

I live 5 miles from there. I have bought from them before. No problems... Probably boxed and Greyhound shipped at that price.

Thanks alot dodger.

Paul,

Is that the closest 5 speed to MA? There have to be 2,320 transmission rebuiders between Sacramento Ca and you, any of whom could build a gear box..... Just sounds kinda odd to me....

The price just seemed cheap ($450) to me. You'd be surprised how few Z's there are (even in boneyards) around here. I called the 10 or 12 local spots around me, I found no 79 - 83 5 speeds.

But I may have found a local 5-speed out of a 79ZX after all. Only thing is, its got 65K on it, and its been sitting for 10 +/- years, and I'd probably have to take it out. Its sitting on its belly in dirt, not easy logistics. And I'm sure the guy will want at least $300 for it. I know him, good guy, but not cheap if he has what you need. But after a PM from a "trusted adviser", I may look into that 79 5 speed anyway. I prefer the car in 2nd - 4th gear (30 - 60 mph), hence the 4.11 diff. upgrade. I just want the 5 speed for the rare occasion I drive on the highway. Seems the 79 may be the best gearing for the way I drive.
