I got home from today and found a transmission sitting on my porch. The box is labeled sixspeeds.com.
immediately I telephoned the company, I explained that I didn't order a transmission and there was some sort of mistake.
The sales manger explained that the transmission was from a gentleman named Ben Lesnik. I told her I didn't know a Ben Lesnik..... then it dawned on me, I asked if Ben (
) lived in Illinois and she said yes.
After 20 minutes of talking we were able to piece together that JohnSconiers sent her the transmission a few weeks back asking for it to be rebuilt. John told sixspeeeds.com the transmission had low hours and just needed to be freshened up but when they cracked the case they found a transmission that looked to have over 150,000 miles and every gear / syncro needed to be replaced.
The price was $1900 to rebuild the transmission. John told her to put the transmission back together with the old parts and to send it to me without any paper work. sixspeeds.com told me that John made it very clear about not sending paper work with the trans.
Now I have a transmission in my driveway and it needs some serious work.
I already bought one from a lateral-g member so this one is for sale.
I will let it go for $300 if anyone is interested.
The person at sixspeeds.com offered John $500 for the unit but he passed up the deal because he wanted to send it to me. (what a great guy).
Please send me a PM if your interested.
