Stock 3 Speed Worth Anything

[Rickb1b]

Title pretty much says it. Should I just pitch this or try to sell. It needs a rebuild.

sometimes you can give them away, I have not had success with that myself.

Or you could try a marine shop, make good boat anchors,,,,,,,,

Mine is still laying in the shed collecting dust.

It's worth it's weight in scrap.

Be honest with the description, hopt to trade it for a 6-pack and some good feelings to help someone out who needs a part. Even wore out it has some value to someone. But not a desirable part and lots of them it won't be a gold mine. Beut even manure has some value to someone.

I've had one in the garage for the last six years. Had a couple of interested guys contact me through craigslist, but none of them ever showed up to buy it. Flakes on craigslist, what a shocker %)

Scrap it or hang onto it for a long time until a buyer comes along. Even then, you might get $100 for it.

You might get $100 for a good one. Wore out, not so. No wonder you still have it, you have it way overpriced.

Ya im not sure id pay for one but i love to have a spare around for internal parts

You misinterpreted my post. I've had people e-mail me through my craigslist posts about having a transmission. I don't even have it listed. People just ask because I have a bunch of other parts listed.

I sold mine a couple of years ago for $75 bucks to a guy that drove the 2.5 hours from Sacramento.
It was in great shape and had about 60k miles or so on a rebuild, if I remember. 175k total miles.

Didn't take long to sell on Craigslist, but just like anything else, it's probably all in the timing.

I've got three of these sitting around. Maybe I will craiglist them at $75 a piece or $200 to take all three of them off my hands. I suppose I should check into the scrap price first. I might get more. Anyone know the weight of these so I don't have to lift one while standing on a scale?

 

[TTTGOWYO]

I gave mine to a neighbor.. It was too big for a paperweight..

Hey wait, there really good to hold down your easy-up when the wind's a blowin.

80-100 pounds without the adapter

Thanks, Justino. Let's see, if scrap is $200/ton and 3 trannys weigh 300...I better list them on CL.

This should get a rise. Thank god I had a scrap one laying around when I rebuilt mine. I needed some extra parts. It runs down the road nicely. Maybe one day Ill upgrade to something else and have the delima of what to do with it, but no plans anytime soon. I guess the 3 speed isnt for evrybody or power steering for that matter.
