it looks as if the box landed on its side, the shaft however has very little play. i found a mk3 trans for 200 bucks so im going to have to buy it and buy the shaft. im willing to pay 200 for it, it beats the 550 for a new one.. -.-

damm that sucks dude... you can get a new input shaft here http://www.toyotapartseast.com/compo...-05-11112.html if you havent bought that mk3 tranny already. This should be the perfect time to crack open your tranny and take a look at it and maybe upgrade the bearing retainer and the thrust washer. I just got done putting mine together.

yea.. im concerned about the internals. but like i said theres little shaft play, i can still turn the shaft fairly easiler, it goes into all goes easily so idk. i could be wrong and some gears are toast.
