Howdy all, my car has been done for about 4-5 months with some transmission issues. I'm pulling it apart to replace the clutch kit, and I'd like to swap the transmission while I'm at it, as it's a 300K + 4 speed with a screwed up 2nd gear synchro.

All of my linkage and driveshaft are already modified for the 81+ aluminum case 4 speed, so that is what I'd prefer over the iron box. But if someone here has the magical 717.400 plus shifter and rods I'm all ears.

Thanks,
Mike

or you could just replace the synchros and bearings and run it for another 500k+... it may be the best option anyway considering that buying a used gearbox you still dont know what your getting, how it was treated, whether the bearings/synchros are good,etc until you install it and go for a drive. then if its not perfect you are stuck with 2 screwed up gearboxes and the money you spent on the replacement could have been spent on rebuilding the original. not to mention the labor removing and installing them multiple times.
