I got a ls hydro tranny from my 95 acura integra for $350 picked up. I'm in fountain valley, orange county, ca. I can throw in a working starter for another $30.
Tranny is in pretty good condition, I drove on it for 1 year w/o any problems. If anything, I grinded like 2-3 times. I think it was driver error. I didn't race it or anything because it was matched with a stock b18b which is shit slow anyway. You can have the clutch too.
Ready to pick up anytime.
