There has been something wrong with my T5 M/T tranny ever since I bought my Mustang. Now I fixed the other problems of the car, the one left is the tranny. I showed it to a garage and the guy took it for a spin and said the gears are busted. He recommends replacing the tranny.

He offered the used tranny he's selling for $750 which comes from a '95 stang. He's giving me guarantee on this. So the deal he offered is like this.
He will buy my broken tranny for $250 so I have to pay 500 for the tranny and service charges. I had a talk with him last night and he reduced price to about $375. I already bought a replacement clutch which will be going in this new (used) tranny.

Is this a good deal or I should attempt to fix it? The guy said fixing it would not guarantee a long lasting solution.

Hell no.

You can buy a used 3550 for that much. Sh1t, I bought a used working T5 for my 92 for $150.

It's probably the synchros that are bad.

Buy a FRPP rebuild kit from summit. Take it to a trans shop. It'll prob cost you $300?

Could you give me a link?

The thing is, I live in the Middle East. You have to add in the shipping cost also. And we don't have trans shops or any organized authorised places.
