Auto transmission

[pmotors]

Hi guys, I'm new to the site and just purchased a very nice 81 delorean with 18k...mostly restored and updated. I bought it with a spare transmission, which was the original, and was told the b clutches needed to be replaced. previous owner purchased a new old stock one from DMC IN CA. it apparently had a 2 to 3 shift issue, which I've been hearing maybe just needing a updated governer. Anyways I was prob going to sell it, but not sure what it's worth. Anyone?

Thanks

Congratulation on your purchase, looks like a very nice DeLorean.

How much did you pay for it? That's your answer. If you just bought it, chances are it was listed at a fair price, so...

Pmotors, please come up with a price for the car and update your ad. If you need to place feelers for the value, please don't do it in the for sale section, do it in the open discussion. That said, moving this to open discussion.
Edit: after re reading your ad, are you selling the car, or the spare transmission?

Not selling the car... I was looking for the value of the transmission. transmission came with my car as a spare. I don't need it.
sorry for confusion.

my car is VIN# 6661

thanks

Got ya. We had a member on here trying to sell a NOS auto trans, and I *think* he was asking 1000 dollars. I believe he had no interest on the forum, and listed it on eBay and had a bid up to 3100 if I remember correctly. That may not be much help, but it's a start....

Holy cow, I'm impressed. I had no idea an automatic could go for so much!!

Yea me either. Who knows if it actually sold for that, but those are the numbers the seller claimed to get....

Almost $6000 ? Dude, I'd invest in a Porsche transmission for another $2000. After the VR6 engine swap - trust me - I would have no problem investing in one, cranking my boost up to 15lbs or so, and watching nothing but headlights in my rear view mirror. Guarantee you that trans would put up with anything Eddie and I throw at it.

Then again, we may rebuild the entire Renault 4141 with more modern and stronger components to give us the strength we need to crank the boost.

Either way, things will get interesting down the road (read: at least a year from now).
