Remember, this is a NON-LSD E153......so on average they go for about 400-500$. So 350 is a VERY good price, but certainly not unheard of...Ask if the person/company will offer a 30day warranty on the trans, and if they do, Good find man. -------------------- 330whp 309ft/lbs @ 21 PSI

They might be a bit more $ but usually much lower mileage on it. -------------------- my st205 swap and our Beams swap

No its not lsd, as is my current tranny so i can live with that. Yes they do offer a 30 day guarantee at this particular shop. thanks jim I found another place that sells it for $350 so it looks like this is the ballpark price. Batman has a good point, i remembered after i posted that there are newer cars with the tranny so i will start looking there as well. Also, I was wondering if I need to do anything to make it work? I have a mr2 e153 right now so i should just be able to switch them out right?

I'm sure someone has the specific info but this is all I dig in my head right now. --------------------
