(motoman399) Posted by:srpowered240sx at 1:50 PM 5/6/2008 call arcata transmission, or johns used cars; i bet they will give you a few bucks for it. if not, im sure one of the repair shops will take it for free, hell, i just gave my buddy a blown 5 speed i swapped out of my brothers car. the bearings were toast, gears were good, he said hes gonna use it for parts.

Post Title: Re: what do you guys do with your old automatics? (motoman399) Posted by:94_240sx at 2:16 PM 5/6/2008 Mine was no good, so I just left it at the shop. I took the speed sensor out and sold it to someone though.

Post Title: Re: what do you guys do with your old automatics? (S13xCrazy) Posted by:Harman850T5 at 8:40 PM 5/6/2008 You could try selling everything as an manaul to auto swap. I'm taking all my stuff to the locak junk yard after I swap mine.
Post Title: Re: what do you guys do with your old automatics? (Harman850T5) Posted by:Chris28 at 8:57 PM 5/6/2008 I'm hoping that by repeatedly slamming it from reverse to drive to reverse to drive at about 20 mph will cause so much damage the the tranny falls out. Then I saved myself the hassle of actually having to remove it and I can not worry about what to do with it. I'll just toss it.
Post Title: Re: what do you guys do with your old automatics? (Chris28) Posted by:GIJOE69 at 9:23 PM 5/6/2008 I just finished my swap on sunday started, wrenching my S14 on sat around noon time.......monday I just went to a metal recycling center and tossed it since it was under 1,000 lbs I did not get anything but its ok I just wanted it out of my garage also + AT tranny is like 200-250 lbs lol

Post Title: Re: what do you guys do with your old automatics? (motoman399) Posted by:ken240sx at 2:30 AM 5/9/2008 I'm thinking about gutting mine, cleaning it up, and making a cool piece of furniture or art with it...I don't really know yet....maybe I'll make it into a time capsule, fill it with cool stuff, and bury it in the Huachuca mountains near Mexico. Hell, I may just try to sell it to one of the honda ricers across the street as a high performance 4spd auto that can handle twice the hp of their trans....takes custom fab work to mount.
