Is it with putting a transmission in? 3k$ and can only find one in California...
What is your question?
Bought it cheap, thought it was the clutch, find out it's the trans, and it's a racing trans that's rare and 1,500$ and only find one in California. Is it worth fixing? Body great inside and out, undercarriage nice.
