Karl;
I've used this to find a transmission for
my Toyota that otherwise would have
been very hard to find.
I got what i thought was a good deal.
But, as you are dealing with used parts
from salvage yards it is buyer beware.
In my case, after using car-part.com
to find what I was looking for, I made the
5 hour ride to the yard to inspect tranny
before purchase. I believe most will
ship at extra cost. Also, be sure to see what
the return/warranty policy is.
Good luck;
Rod.
