T5 tranny... What are you paying for them?

I spent a good deal of my weekend avidly hunting for an S10 T5 with no luck... The hotline at the junkyard showed a couple but the cheapest was $450 with a missing top plate. Am I just being a cheap ass or is that too high. I was figuring on somewhere between $75-$200 for an S10 box, depending on the yard I got it from.

 

just picked one up off of craigslist for $50. guess i got lucky

 

I bought mine at the swap meet a few years ago for $40.00. It is working well ( knock on wood.)

 

I paid a $100 for mine

 

Mine was free! It needs rebuilt, but it is the mechanical speedometer type. Now I need to find a 62 Falcon to put it in.

 

Pick a Part around here sells them for $129 and has a half off sale once a month. My problem is that no one has a 4x4 T5.

 

I picked mine off of craigslist for $45. It was in unknown condition but luckily, its working fine for me.

 

Around here, they seem to be fetching $200-$300.

 

Got my 1987 S10 T-5 for $300 rebuilt and ready to go! well worth it.

 

The first time I went out looking for a T5 I slipped in the salvage yard and broke my leg. No telling how much that cost and I came up empty handed.

I subsequently picked up a couple of NWC for about $100 each.

Eventually I had a rebuild shop build a custom unit. WC Chevy case, good gears, proper length input with 21 splines, and an S10 tail shaft. It was expensive. But cheaper than a broken leg.

 

I just picked an S10 2wd T5 on ebay, shipped to the door for $310

 

I have one with low miles! I pmed ya!!

 

Craigslist !!

 

I know a guy that spends a lot of free time at Pick a Parts. I pay him a finders fee for every 4x4 trans he brings me.

Are the 4wd ones good for anything in a rod? Found 2 of them ...

 

Read the link in Crazydaddyo's signature and be prepared to change your build plans.

I just PM'd you

 

$125 for a low milage S-10 last year at the local swap.

$100 for non-w/c, and $250-500 for world class because mustang guys buy up the w/c.

 

U-pull-its around here price for any transmission is $100. And there is probably 15 T-5s in the yard at any time. Still looking for a T-56...

 

Bought mine for $100.00 on craigslist and spent another $150.00 replacing broken and worn out parts.

 

mine was 70 bucks at the pull a part

 

Aroundthe Deroit area your looking at $300 smackers

 

I dont pay more than $100 for one, no matter s-10, mustang world class or camero. Never pay big money for a trans that you cant see the inside. Even if you take a chance and you get it home and the gears are busted you still have 100 bucks worth of good parts left to help build another one.

 

A couple years ago I got one on NH Craigs for $150.At that time cores on ebay were going for that.I put it in my '56 and it's been good.

 

I paid $4500.00 for mine.... had to take the whole truck.

 

Paid $250 for my rebuilt WC T5 out of an early 90s stang.

 

It seems as though I paid a lot for my Camaro/S10 hybrid trans - but thats what you get when you live othe other side of the earth!!!

But I did get a short throw on the shifter as well

 

75 bones all day long in any "pull a part" location. Thats with clutch, pressure plate blah blah blah.

 

Up to a couple of hundred bucks is a pretty fair price. If you want a mechanical speedo, it may cost you a bit more simply based supply and demand.
