Interesting stuff. But I can’t find a good answer on where the Getrag 717 comes from. Apparently it’s a Mercedes transmission.

I have to wonder why the guy was letting it go for $6500. If all those improvements worked flawlessly seems like it would be worth 10K at least.

The stuff is fraught with peril. Inheriting someone else’s work like that, you might regret it, not knowing the history of how this or that piece was adapted.

Good food for thought however.
