you can not find a 97 gsr tranny for even 700. I posted a wantted to buy for three weeks and i had no response till Keith let me know about what he has. I trust Keith would have told me if the syncros were also needing to be replaced. You said so yourself that he wouldnt be that kinda of guy. Why would he anyways. I only need one more gear bacisally thats like a little under a 100. And if Keith gets the 5th gear from you or not it doesnt matter i can also get the 5th gear and pay for that. 100 dollars isnt that much. When you think about it iam only paying 6-700 for a gsr tranny. 100 to get it rebuilt and from the best person who could rebuild it . From what i heard. Thats still a good deal. Why do you care so much anyways. Its not your problem.
