Ok, I have a roughly 1500 in stocks right now. I will be moving out of my apartment and back into my parents at the end of june. My car needs a new transmission, pulleys, and has 242k miles. I honestly don't feel like it is worth it to pull the engine and swap in a new trans.

I have the ability to get a blacktop for 1200 +343 shipping (to my house, no liftgate), and it might have a 6 speed. They are recommended on this site, just don't want someone stealing it away rolleyes.gif . Shipping seems high though.

I could get a blacktop off ebay with a 5 speed for the same 1200, and pay less in shipping, but does anyone recommend sellers off ebay?

I could go for a silvertop for 8-900 and replace extras.

What parts should I replace? I know I will need spark plugs, new wires, clutch possibly? I know there is more just sorta in a hurry. What do you guys think?

The 1200 includes everything needed for the swap. As for the C56 vs C60, it seems to crank up the price more than a few hundred when listed at least from what I have found. Now, just gotta wait from a reply from the importer before I pull the trigger on this.

You should ask specifically... "Does it include uncut wiring harness? Coil? Ignitor? AFM/MAP sensor? IAT? Distributor? Accessories? What about the compression? Leakdown test? Warrantee?"
