I was sent an RB20 trans by accident but I'm contemplating on buying it from the guy and having him send me the right one (RB25 trans :mad: )

What should I offer him 300$?

I got my rb20 trans and it doesn't shift into anything except 1st and 2nd. Not sure what is wrong with it, but I until I open it up and see if something is wrong, I may need to find another...

It all depends on its condition and shipping. Most of that price was shipping... $150 since he is on the other side of the country.

So if I just buy new ka synchros, etc, it will all just work? Seems too good to be true.

Well I tore mine open today, somehow it had been jammed into 5th gear w/o the shifter doing it (dropped hard maybe?), but I fixed it up, cleaned out the internals, and sealed it back up now it shifts fine.

I miss-shifted mine and took out reverse like that. Somebody goofed up a shift and got the forks in limbo it sounds.
