Good price?

[Teaks92HB]

So this old timer I work with has a buddy who has a salvage yard. I asked him to get me a price on a 99-00 Honda civic Si transmission. So he tells me he has one for $400 and it only has 46,000 miles. I said are you sure its for a B series. He said yes.. soooo i'm gonna ask about the motor also tomorrow. Now I know that's a pretty cheap price for that trans in my opinion. But I am wondering what you guys think.

I'm certainly no where near an expert, but that seems like a pretty good price to me. Especially with the low miles on it. Do a search in the classified section on H-T, and they have them for sale anywhere from $500-650. Here I searched for you:

That's just a few of them.

A good price especially considering mileage. See if there's a warranty. Just to make sure it works when you put it in. In case the car was hit while it was in gear or something.

Yeah i'm for sure finding out about the motor. My LS went through 3 quarts of oil in a month... so..

Well they do not have the motor, so I'm getting the trans on Monday. Now I'm trying to find another motor. I wold like a B20Z, but I would settle for a B20B. Opinion? Or just get a B16 and put my GSR cams in it?

between a B20 and a B16...I'd go B20. Just for a little more tq.
