I have a '90 tranny that has a bent shift fork. It's stuck in reverse. Thought I'd see if anyone wants it before I bring it to the dump. Maybe someone knows how to fix it or wants the housing for a tranny build. Local pickup or I'll ship if you pay cost of shipping.

Location in Titusville, FL or I could drive it to Orlando.

are you sure the fork is bent? stuck in reverse is a common (and easily fixable) problem with these.

I just looked it up. I guess it is easily fixable. Too bad no one mentioned that when I first had the problem. So if anyone wants a free transmission, all they need to do is remove a couple washers from this one and go at it with a flathead. It has about 130k miles on it. Can't say it won't happen again though unless the rod is replaced, so I'm still happy I replaced the whole transmission.

Anyone want it? If not, I'm just going to bring it to the dump this weekend

I want it... but it would require shipping which would suck.

Dave,
If the shifter is removed, the trans will ship in a 40x15x15 and weighs 90 lbs. DHL won't be expensive.

$50 for DHL ground from FL to Chicago FYI

So Ben, how would I package this transmission for shipment? Just wrap it in plastic? I'm pretty sure it'd break through a cardboard box

Ships fine in a strong cardboard box. Trick is to make the box the exact same size as the trans so it can't move around.

brand new trannys come to us from benz in carboard boxes with 2 wooden supports across each end on the bottom, and they're a lot bigger and heavier

OK, thanks, I'll try it.
