Default Is a B16 tranny made out of aluminum?

My tranny is a complete waste I was thinking of gutting it and taking it to the recycling yard to get some cash for it. Would this work?

Grab a magnet and see if it sticks. If it does it damn sure isnt aluminum.

yup it is aluminum. how much could you possibly get for it though? it's based on weight so would you even get over a dollar?

Take it up there and find out. Theyre just going to pay you for the case anyway. Maybe 100 -150 bucks IMHO.

no way one pound of aluminum is worth $115.
anyhow, a tranny case is indeed aluminum but it might not be more than 10 pounds.
