Default Rebuilt 5sp trans on eBay
So this trans caught my eye but the add has some contradictions so I sent the question " is this the actual picture of it?"
Here is the response I got


New message from: abitguy (286Turquoise Star)
I have a few here they're all the same what's ur point. Either it functions correctly or it doesn't. The trans bolts under the car & performs a function correctly or not correctly. Either it's been repaired or I'm lying & deceiving you. Which are insinuating ? I don't appreciate the innuendo's. If u want to buy a used repaired functioning 928 trans at that price I have them & they're all the same once repaired. No Not every bearing/bushing, gear & shaft have been replaced but it is repaired as needed & functioning correctly. You want it or u don't? No one has a crystal ball it's used & not brand new & even if brand new there's a possibility of problems

Well.....we all know what the parts cost....

What do you think he's replacing, given his asking price?

You guys are harsh, give him a chance - I am.

Recently I met him at his shop...or actually his shop me met at the Big Lots parking lot by the JC Penny's. Looks qualified to me.
