My gearbox is experiencing a dying 2nd gear synchro, and I'm looking at replacing rather than repairing.

PM me if you've got a non-LSD C60 or C64 transmission

I'm located in Los Angeles, so please include a shipping quote too if necessary

TIA

Chris

Just curious, can't you just use the Celica GTS 6 speed transmission? If so, you can buy them off ebay or junk yard for cheap.

Yes the Celica tranny is the c60 and my understanding is that its identical to the c64 tranny lotua uses except with a taller 6th gear ratio.

Trouble is most c60s are high mileage relative to my car that has 17k miles. I wont be able to know how it was treated during those high mileage ranges...

I dont know if rebuilding is better or not..

Just an observation, but your low mileage one (17k) is already dead. I'm not sure buying a low mileage (by Lotus or any other standard) ensures that it was treated any nicer.

I'm not trying to be a smart a$$, but low mileage does not correlate well to not abused/treated nicely. Same thing applies to tires, motors, brakes, etc.

Yes, thats why I'm sort of hesitant to buy used, but I wanted to get an idea of the prices/availability of used trannies out there.

A rebuild may be the best option, or buying completely new. Still, if anyone reading this has a C60/C64 in good condition (broken in properly and you know the history of the transmission), send me a PM with price.
