Hello everyone!!! I am as new as they come to this forum and need some advice. I have an 07 cobalt ss/sc and i just replaced the stock original tranny which is a 5sp f35 (mu3) w/ lsd. It has 79000 miles on it and most it has been highway miles. I had problems going into 5th gear and that was it. So to save a headache or two i just splurged and got another tranny and new clutch.. So what is the best way to part with this??? All i know is these are very pricey once rebuilt and are very hard to come by... Should i part it out??? or have it rebuilt then sell it??? I would like to get rid of it but would like to get the most bang for the buck.. Any advice is appreciated... thanks!!!

Anyone need a tranny???? haha

 

I think rebuilding and trying to sell will not get u profit..... Correct me if I'm wrong tho

 

Okay thanks do you know what are good ballpark asking price would be if I sold it

 

50 bucks to me

 

Gladly!!! if you want to pay 250.00 for shipping!!! haha

 

I'll pay $300 for you to ship it to me...

 

Ppl will buy it for more than u think bro

 

Since I am do I can't post in classifieds yet do you know anybody that needs 1 let me know thanks

 

Ulill do 400

 

Really???

 

Well i know exactly what kind of hell i went through to find the replacement one so i know really how rare and how expensive these units are... If you want to offer a REASONABLE offer for this by all means if it would help you out or you know someone who can benefit from this either financially or physically ( for there car) etc.. let me know. I am honest and not shady in anyway and i would expect the same in return.. (one can only hope)..

 

u wont get as much for it since it needs to be rebuilt or wutever and it has a a little higher miles not bad tho..so id take the first reasonable offer that comes along..id say anywher from 4-6 shipped depending on location...shipped my trans from washington to michigan along with an lsd and it was $90 for shipping costs to give u an idea for shipping

 

yea the fact that it needs rebuilt is the killer in your price lol i just want a backup for when mine goes.

 

Okay that's what i was thinkin for the backup idea but honestly mine is bone stock and i have had no issues with anything other than recalls. Well im very familiar with these vehicles it's just im a freakin newbie here so.... I am in southern california and by the way if a shop replaces the exact tranny and does a tranny swap doesn't the lsd stay with the trans or do they swap it from one to the other?

 

well if you would like it make me an offer but not a lowball one please based on your location and i would be happy to accomodate you if you can use it. and believe every dollar counts for me since i spent a pretty penny on this tranny and clutch replacement. As far as an entire rebuild i just know that it needs a set of 5th syncros but other than that this thing is solid.... still.

 

well if i bought it i would be sending it to ZZP to be completely rebuilt to hold my power lol

 

that's cool are you in michigan or washington? also with something that heavy how do you go about shipping something like that?

 

neither lol im in Nebraska















<<<<<


As for shipping...would you put it on a pallet? Im not quite sure

 

well the deal is if im doing anything with this thing out of state shipping i would like to ship this out no later than wed cause after that ill have my car and i have a piece of **** colorado rental that is perfect candidate to carry this damn thing to ship... im totally down to sell it if your interested. By the way is that red cobalt on your profile is that yours?

 

ahh i see so what is the best method or company for shipping that you've dealt with? UPS? and what do you mean by freight exactly?

 

and yes it would be on a pallet the same one my replacement came on.. it's perfect and still has the wire like holdowns or ties with it

 

yes that is my cobalt in my signature

 

that's f***in nice. well if you honestly can use this man we can exchange numbers or some **** and consider it yours if you can use it>>> just need to figure out price and shipping company...

 

well at the moment i dont have money. Im in the process of rebuild my engine after it blew. I am interested tho! If my build comes out cheaper than expected i will get ahold of you. But dont hesistate to sell it somebody else.

PS, not sure if you posted pics or not (i cant see them on my work computer) but if you are legitimately trying to sell it, i suggest posting a For Sale thread in the Classifieds section and be sure to follow all the rules!

 

I know i can't post there until i have 5 days being a member so... welp if you or anyone else you know wants this i can sell it anywhere from 550 shipped (depending on location) that's fair for me at least so hit me back when you know!!! Thanks man

500-600 is fair
