How much is a JDM Type R trans worth?
Hi,
I have a Lotus Elise with a 1998 JDM Type-R B18C and transmission. They have about 130k. The transmission is making some gear whine (could be bearings or mesh). It still works and shifts fine. there is no popping out of gear or synchro mesh problems.
I bought a new USDM S80 type R trans which I will use to replace it.
So I want to sell the JDM trans after I pull it.
It will need a (probably minor) rebuilding/refurbishing but overall it's working fine but will be sold as-is.
Any ideas what this transmission is worth?
thanks.

Not parting the engine. Just replacing trans with a new usdm one.
I somehow had the notion that the JDM type R transmissions were coveted and fetched a higher price.
I already have a friend who will give me $700 for it so what you guys are saying sounds right.
Thx

if you have an offer of 700 on a questionable tranny, take it and run. i bought a brand new in the box usdm R trans for $1200. as stated earlier no one really cares for the most part if it's jdm or usdm
wonder if the usual "it's not an R crowd" will bitch about this thread?
