Transmission replacement for 1992 L300?
Posted: Thu Dec 25, 2014 4:17 pm
Hi everyone,
We've got a 1992 L300 that's ready for a new transmission. It is still currently drivable, but the transmission could soon. The repair shop we took it to gave us a ballpark estimate of $3500 to get the transmission fixed, which is out of our budget. Any advice on how to go about getting it replaced (in as budget-friendly way as possible?). Or if we had to sell it as-is, any advice on how much it might be worth? Here are some other stats about our delica:
-270,000km
-in good shape (other than transmission and some minor body damage typical for an old adventure-mobile)
-custom roof rack & awning
-custom interior with camo vinal flooring, usb ports and 12V 3-prong plugs
-new 4WD tires (about 6 months old) + full sized spare
-trailer hitch
Cheers,
Ryan
