Is the L3 tranny my only option, or are there others that will work/bolt-up?

I ask because I'm having a hell of a time finding an L3 that:
1. Doesn't cost more than $500 (less than $300-350 would be nice)
2. Has a warranty that's not an insult
3. Isn't half way across the country so shipping is rediculous. (I'm in Oregon)

My other option is to take it to the local tranny shop, but they quoted me "$100 per gear plus parts and labor". OUCH!!!!!!!!!

If I can't find something realistic, I'm considering doing a ZC swap and see if that will be less headache in the long run. Suggestions?

 

You can convert to hydro and use an s20 or s40 trans. Call hmotorsonline, I got my zc trans for 450 to my door, and that was an LSD trans.

 

I Got a zc tranny and I like the gearing. Recommend it :thumbs up:

 

How difficult is that to do?

 

Did you check them, they are your neighbors:
