Hi to all of you. My car 2000 GP GT has lost 4th gear. there is no (known) other problems with the transmission but i considering purchase a used one to replace when i find a good deal.
I found some here on local private & junkyards that i m considering purchase.
What problems, if any, a trans will have if it remains in a wrecked car unused for a period of 1-3 years or more?
You just need to drain the old trans liquid and put a new one? Or is there any specific procedure like any kind of "cleaning" etc.
I heard that few, if any, put some kind of preservative in there to avoid rust but i think that's rare to find.
Also what u guys believe is a fair price to a local mechanic to do the job (uninstall old one, install "new" on, change trans fluid, gasket(s)filter. ONLY LABOR.
Thanks
Thanos
