I at this point am sadly forced to share with you my own experiences. I have now bought two totally worthless mis-represented tranny's and am out most of my money not including all the wasted money on shipping...

I am thousands and thousands of dollars out on Ebay Transmissions...only to now have a few worthless paperweights that are better off as door stops then finely tuned porsche based shifting solutions...

I would recommend a pre-inspected known milage transmission from a reputable parts house. Do your homework and spend the money. G50's are not cheap. Don't try and 'save money' with this part of your build... nothing is ****tier then trying to save a few dollars only to end up spending that money twice or more... make sure you know the miles, and vin out of the car your getting it from so you can track the history...


Know for sure before you buy...
Don't buy a 'rebuilt' unless it comes with papers of pedigree with a contact of the shop that did the work... "Rebuilt" on ebay usually means a fresh coat of spray paint.

sorry I can't be more positive but at this point I am just hoping no one else has to do learn what I have the hard way...
