Looking for a 4L60E or 4L80E for an LS swap locally. Prefer within 3 hours of Fort Myers.

 

so you post on a forum?
where have you looked?
facebook marketplace shows 4 60es in fort myers, and 2 80es...

so ya, theres that

 

I'm scouring marketplace as well, but I have a little bit more trust in forum members than I do randoms on FB marketplace.

 

I cold called some trans shops explaining I was looking for a core. Then I responded to an Offer-up from a 1 man trans shop locally who was advertising an 80e for $100 unknown condition when the others I saw online were $800-$1K not guaranteed to work. I went to his shop at the agreed time and he was a no show. My call woke him from sleep. We agreed to meet later in the day. I showed later in the day and he was a no show again. To good to be true.

A guy at another trans shop a bay over saw me show up two times and asked what I was up to. I explained and he said that guy was not reliable. He says hold on and makes a call and tells whoever he is talking to bring an 80e over right now. A few minutes later there is a complete 80e in front of me and the guy says just take it!

I could not believe my luck, I said at least let me give you the $100. He accepted and off I went.

What a good samaritan that guy was, I tore the trans down and could not find broken or worn parts.

Never know what could happen in these adventures with our thirdgens.

 

...to all of us who dont know, you are a 'random'...

 

I'm a random looking to give someone my money. I've also purchased a rear end from this forum, what's your point?
