[Spridgets] value of rebuildable ribcase

Strangely enough, we're talking about the exact transmission that was 
replaced by the one you sold. As of now, my old trans has found a new 
home - it's going racing...

I had no idea what it's value was - since it's basically zip, that's 
what it went for! Better for it to have a use then sitting around useless...

The weather is breaking here, and I'm getting motivated to figure out 
wth is wrong with the Midget. It rattles horrendously from the 
transmission while driving or idling. The slightest pressure on the 
clutch pedal makes it stop. Thinking maybe a clip came off the throwout 
bearing or something. It works fine, just makes a racket...

The one I sold a guy with your exact email address was basically free in a pile of spares that came with a car, I spent $300 having a total rebuild on it, didn't use it, and sold it for less than that.
