Anyone selling a used 06 MCS tranny?

Well, I took a road trip to California and before I knew it my transmission seized up. Looks like internal damage flaked the housing and caused gear oil to leak out on the highway . Anyone in the United States selling a 6 spd used trans would be greatly appreciated

I thought all MCS 6-speeds were Getrags but the post-facelift had a different gearset?

I could be wrong, but im under the assumption the Getrag trans was implemented in 05 and up MCS types?

I believe that was only in the Justa Cooper that they went to the Getrag 5 Speed in 2005 opposed to the Midlands equipped in the 2002 - early production 2004s. I believe the 6-speed has always been Getrag but I'm sure i'll get corrected if i'm wrong.

My '04 is a Getrag. Says right on it! No factory LSD like the '05 and '06's and a taller gear set, I believe.

So the 05's and up where the LSD versions? Interesting, I was under the assumption all Getrag trans had LSD. Im looking for an 05-06 trans, preferably used and because I cant afford new :/ I have stupid school to pay for lol
