After a very tragic storage accident, I'm on the hunt for a transmission tray, the one in front of the engine tray. I've been offerred a "prisitine" one locally for $150CDN. Seem fair? I was thinking of countering $100. I know, I shouldn't be cheap, I should buck-up for a new one but they're $350CDN. I'd rather spend the money elsewhere.

 

Is the Canadian $ still about equal to the USD? I haven't checked lately...

$75-100 USD was the going rate for this part a year or so ago.

 

$25 seems more reasonable for that slab of fiber-reinforced cardboard...

I know but shipping charges can be painful. As to the Canuck-buck, it's hovering a few cents below parity.......great time to buy stuff from the US!

I know, it's such a simple piece but I want to have it on the 97.......might actually drive it in the rain.

 

Bumpity.

 

Steal the one from the '95. No one will know.


Andreas

 

I will know.

The same local shop is down to CDN$125 but i"m holding out for $100. I can be patient.

 

Tim, I got one from DC Auto in North Carolina this past summer for $80 shipped.

 

I have an extra one from a 1995 (assume they are all the same?). $45 plus shipping sound fair?

EDIT: just saw you are in Canada. Not sure if it makes a difference...let me know, its just taking up space here.

 

Sending PM Justin. Thanks for the reply.

 

What happened to the old one?

Mike

 

That's all I have to say about that.

And, as long as shipping costs aren't crazy, a big RL thanks to Justin (Black993)!

 

Update:

First off, here in Canada (at least in BC) we don't get regular mail delivery on weekends, Mon-Fri only. Special deliveries are an occassional surprise on Saturdays.

So imagine my surprise when the mailman pulled into my driveway a few minutes ago, IT'S SUNDAY!!! He had this huge flat box for me containing my tray.

Thanks again Justin (Black993), I appreciate the effort you put in for minimal return. Just proves what great people are on here.

 

You got us going, now Tim. You backed into it with your Pete?

 

Nope. No moving vehicles were involved in this.
Here's a hint though:
