    Wait a second. That's just the V6 version of the 523 right? If so, I'd check the local salvage yards. I know the yard I deal with has at least a couple of them, possibly more. And that's just one yard.

    Well, I'm sure it varies from one area to another. They seem to be plentiful around here. It's a shame they would be so expensive to ship since I can get them for about $150 each.

    i go to all the junkyards in my area and can find any 3.0l manual tranny but i find a million TI engines and any trans you can think of but no manual vans or 3.0Ls

    That sounds like the exact opposite of here. I can find a bunch of 5spd and auto 3.0's, but the 4cyl cars are getting pretty scarce.

    Anyways splat can probably only do what is in his budget. Transmissions are not free.

    $500-$800 for a rebuilt transmission is not a ton.

    Re: need a 543

    True, but if you can only afford a $150-$200 junkyard trans and aren't in a position to wait and save the money, then $500-$800 might as well be $100,000.

    On the other hand, if you don't need the car in a hurry, then waiting and saving the money for a rebuilt trans is the best option.

    Re: need a 543

    Ive got 2 spares that ive collected for 70-120 dollars each.
    I dont understand the logic of NOT using one of you can get a known "decent" one.
    Cliff is pretty far from the west coast anyways. I personally wanted to keep collecting the transmissions because they keep showing up in the yard here but once I got 2 extra I started feeling stupid buying more. The sad thing is I think at the pull a part they just get crushed instead of getting sold by one of those "real" wrecking yards. I know they are expensive from those services but at least they dont get crushed.

    Did you check www.car-part.com?

    Try this...

    1991
    Transmission
    Dodge Daytona -3.0,5SPD,TESTED,137 -137K 137,000 B10897 $300 Amherst Oakham Auto Recycling USA-MA(Oakham) Request_Quote 1-800-992-0441

    Thats probably a 3.50 geared large spline. The rarest 3.0 trans.

    Thats not to far is it? :P
    If you have to get it shipped, there is one in colorado for 150. Maybe they will ship it and the lesser cost will offset the greater distance.
