Sweet deal on tranny

Man, I got a great deal on a tranny today. First off I gotta say how GAY my junkyards are here in lakeland. I went around to 3 of them looking for a 4 cyl tranny from a mustang (not even the better TC one). One quoted $400, another $200 but it was in another city, and the last $450. I told them that they were nuts.


So anyways, I see a friend at the last place and he tells me about the Copher's U pull it place in Tampa (45 min away). So me and my friend goes. They had tons of cars and even 2 turbocoupes with engine and trannys (minus the turbo and exhaust).

I pulled the tranny out (about 1.5 hours of work and on gravel rocks), front sway bar, K-member support bar, EGR valve (I cracked mine...oops), and an IAC valve for '98 explorer (for my friend) for $83 plus if I bring them back one of my trannys they will give me another $20 back.

That is the sweetest deal that I have ever seen. I love that place and my 2.3T project should be ready by the end of the week.

I thought I have heard from several people on here and on Ebay that the 87-88 TC tranny had stronger innards like the 5.0's. But that they have the bellhousing and input shaft of the 2.3. I don't know. My ultimate goal in the next year or two is to have it put down around 300rwhp. We'll see.

It was easy getting stuff from this junkyard to because every car was lifted up about 2 feet off the ground.

Also this place says that they have a 31 day Money Back gaurantee. Hopefully though I won't have to use that.
