Dwn4BassAlan Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Alright guys, so yesterday on my way to the beach (if you live in Cali you know the heat wave hasnt let up) to cool down when out of nowhere, I throw my car into reverse, or atleast tried to, and my shifter came off at the weld point from the transmission! Pretty sick! but thats still not the best part, I was stuck in an alley, where a construction truck had to back up from to let the street sweeper through and I had some cop yelling at me to move, not seeming to understand the meaning of my car just broke. So i finally got it onto the side of the road and called AAA and got towed to my mechanic who says he'll get a specialist to come out and weld it. Well turns out it can't be fixed with that same piece and he says I need an aftermarket piece. But he gladly informs me that the welder says that my shifter ALONE was worth $1500??!?!?!!? He said it some really sought after original piece, sound like a heaping, steaming, festering load of BS to me as my mechanic sounded equally as surprised and skeptical. Can ANYONE tell me if that has any sort of plausibility to it at all?? I dont have a picture of the bottom part that came out but heres what it looks like in the car, looks generic to me.

Everytime I see a guy driving a mini cooper I cant help but think he loves cock & (2/29/16)-My wife just bitched at me about throwing out things we don't really use. My response of well we don't really use your vagina so should we throw that out was evidently not the right response. I had to leave the room. I missed Alan. RIP 5/29/15 - I love you son.

dyablo409 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 yes it does. i seen a show once about lowriders and this guy paid like 2k for a compass that was originally for the car so it could be plausible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hammer Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 My uncle sells classic parts on Ebay all the time. Buys stuff for 10-15 bucks at juckyards or scrap places and polishes them up and sells stuff like that for 1000$ plus all the time. He had a NOS guage or something one time that sold for 1500.

b-dubs89 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 i wouldn't totally call that bs either , people are funny . i would never pay that much for a shifter to make a car exactly like it was from the factory but there are people who will .

Exactly....might not be worth 1500 to 99% of the people out there...but if you found the 1% than you could probably get that or more...I wouldnt be surprised or call it complete bullshit either.

b-dubs89 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 that's the way it goes when a guy is trying to sell something , i picked a 60's vintage hiawatha bicycle of the curb and sold it for $40 cash a yrar and a half later , advertising it the whole time . when i did find my buyer he drove from over 2 hours away to get it .

mttornquist Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Sorry to hear bout it man! From the start it sounded expensive. So you gonna try and get it welded back on or get a whole new tranny or what? I'm confused Quote My Build Log: http://www.stevemead...lmost-complete/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLNSHVNnDRAGGN Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 So offer it to him for $1000 and he can make a $500 profit. Quote www.facebook.com/BILLatDivineCreationsPhoto He was taunting me. He's all like "come at me bro!" So I'm like "I'm coming at you bro!" And he's like "hey, fuck you" *chomp*. Then I killed it. I win. ^^^ you have truly taken being a lazy fuck to a new level tonight, an MRE. WOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you gonna try and get it welded back on or get a whole new tranny or what? I'm confused No the transmission is fine, and I could never afford to replace this one, its an aluminum M22 from an original SS. I just need to shifter to go back in but for some reason he said it can't be re welded properly??
