$2000 for 2005 MCS Tranny w/LS? Good deal?
I have found a 2005 6spd MCS Transmission that also has a Limited slip diff., is this a good deal for $2000 or should I wait for a beter deal?

Also, what will it cost me to have it installed excluding clutch/PP?

If it's in good condition and you're looking for a 3005 transmission, then yeah it's a great deal, especially with the LSD. I'd be leary about it being in good shape at that price, but if it checks out...

You should negotiate to lower the price down a little bit. I found one used 15k miles for $1,350, a month ago.

I'm not sure, but it seems that way.

I got mine fully rebuilt from a MINI dealer for $2400. (05 tranny with LSD)

Depending on the condition of yours, $2000 is a good deal.
