V8 T5 for $7.30

I had a good karma day today. About a year ago I had the trans for my Mustang stolen from a friends Garage. I knew who did it and I confronted them about it. Told them that I forgive them for what they did. If something is going to be stolen, I would rather it be from me, then someone else. Well eariler this week I junked a Grand-Am and saw a Capri that a buddy of mine had at the yard. It had a fresh .030 over 302 and a T5 when he had it. I walked over to it's crushed hulk and the engine and trans was still in there. I talked to the owner about buying the trans from it. He told me that he would take $.10 a pound for it. Well today after work I went and ripped that thing from the car. It weighed 73lbs. So, 73lbs * .10/lb = $7.30! I checked all the gears and they still work. I am going to pull it apart tomarrow and check th gears and syncro's. When I drove it last it shifted fine. So...

Also it had 80/90 weight in it. Shouldn't it have ATF??
