Planning on getting a used transmission next week.
Anyone knows how much it weighs? Couldn't find anything online.
Is this something I can throw in the trunk of the SHO?
So, I bought the used transmission back in February from a scrap yard in Detroit. They said it had only 50k miles on it but not sure that was true.
I was in between jobs and didn't want to replace it without knowing if the "new" one would work so I drove with it in the trunk until last week when I finally decided to replace it.
Took it to my local mechanic and $1k CAD later got it done.
At first it hard shifted between 2nd and 3rd gear but within a day or two, that went away and its now working perfectly. Guess it sat too long and it needed some fresh fluid to lubricate everything.
My SHO dodge a bullet this time and I'm now in the process of replacing some suspension components I neglected as I didn't want to put any money into it until fixing the transmission.

Hey! Wondering if you'd be willing to PM me the name of the shop?
