Isint the trans under warrenty?
hehe, I would refer you to my last thread but it was like 3 months ago... and well I'm lazy.
my tib has no warranty of any kind 02.gif , so I'm on my own. the last owner thrashed it pretty good. anyone on here own a tib, go to devry columbus, and total it? (cobalt blue) well thats mine. laugh.gif by the time I got it the front tires were bald and the clutch went at about 19k, I bought it at 11,300 and third gear went at about...40k? it was kinda a slow process.
but thats all old news, bought a new ebay tranny (500 shipped to unc's garage), and I'll be as good as new after friday :twisted:
Ahh, gotcha smile.gif Dang... 19k the cluch went?! 40k for the trans?! Thrash is not the word lol! Must of been used to teach someone how to drive stick or somethin...
