Thanks to all who chipped on this question.  There's been a wide range  
of prices and opinions offered as might be expected given the  
vagueness of the question.  I was looking to sell the 4 speed  
transmission that came with my TR6 and had purportedly been rebuilt as  
the same time as the engine in early 1997.  I replaced it with an OD  
transmission from my rustbucket TR6 parts car in 1998 so it didn't  
have a lot of miles on it as far as I knew and it was a good old rock  
solid TR6 transmission that had synchros good enough to up shift with  
out the clutch.

The range was from: give it away to $450 by the way.  But the comments  
about the parts in the tranny that are apparently made of "unobtanium"  
carried the day.  Being a pack rat anyhow I was just looking for an  
excuse to hold on to the tranny so I guess i will keep it for the  
various parts that a few people ( such as Berry below) mentioned that  
are not available in the catalogs.

Thanks
Bud
