Yeah you'd get scrap You can rebuild a stuffed trans but then you're up for a rebuild which cost more than a second hand trans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the $700 ono trans You could also just use a na trans up to 300rwkw or so, provided it was tuned. Here's a whole ass conversion minus tailshaft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joffa1 Member 160 Member For: 7y 8m 20d Posted 29/03/25 12:25 AM Author Share Posted 29/03/25 12:25 AM I’m seeing a lot more NA wrecks come up. So I’d be pretty safe getting a ZF box out of an NA FG XR6 then? I don’t anticipate major mods on this car, maybe some basic stuff like injectors, cat and a tune.
