Suberstar88 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I called my local wrecking yard in wenatchee,wa for a 5-speed d/r tranny, He didnt have one in stock but could order one for $500, is that reasonable?(sounds a lil steep). Was wondering if anyone knew a good place for those around central washington and the skagit valley area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was wondering if anyone knew a good place for those around central washington and the skagit valley area. That sounds way high to me. I bought one off of a local shop two years ago for 150, and that was a little steep from what I was used to. There have got to be more out there in a junkyard somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyewdall Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Yeah... in the NW, there's a gazillion of these cars, so you should be able to find a junkyard one for $100 or $150, I would think. Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was wondering if anyone knew a good place for those around central washington and the skagit valley area. I'm finding that yards are drastically increasing prices,here in the NW, espescially on subaru parts. And they have mercilessly been crushing tons of the older ones, even with lots of good parts on them. They want fewer cars available for parts, so supply is low, and demand is increasing with more new Subie fanatics wanting to build the next trail machine.

bratman18 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I wish there was an actual decent yard around here. There are a couple in Freeport and I believe there was a guy on here named junkyardgabe that runs one of them. But there really aren't any old Subarus. There are a couple but nothing that has anything good left on them. If I remember right junkyardgabe had a Brat and another old one but whenever I asked about them he said that they weren't for sale...yet they sat there rusting away...literally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indrid cold Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Try the Prosser WA, area wrecking yard... heard they may have a few... Spokane also... alot of the wrecking yards are crushing since metal prices are high.. great condition cars crushed & not hung on too like they used too. $140 has kind of been the running price around here... but it depends on where you go too. $500 is high, keep digging. I understand they are trying to pay the bills.. but come on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand they are trying to pay the bills.. but come on... yeah that is more like the going rate should be. I recently paid 150 for a whole 89 GL wagon. It was rusted really bad but it only had 92,xxx miles and had a d/r so I bought it and have made my money back by selling the motor and a couple little parts. So the d/r was free!

Turbone Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 (edited) not all, i have over 30 older GL wagons and such on our lot at my work, so if you need something shoot me a PM anytime. we are a subaru only wrecking yard, and i KNOW we have more then a few good 5sp d/r tranny's. problem is, most have really high milage, so trying to find one in good shape is key, thats why i wont sell one unless i test drive it first to see what it feels/sounds like. How do you test drive it if the car isnt running? Does that mean you wont sell any drivetrain parts off it? Btw, the PAP in Tacoma sells trannies for $50.50 with a $9.50 core charge. You pull of course. Edited January 1, 2009 by Turbone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOOBOUTLAW Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 For 500 bucks it better come with the rest of the car! Damn straight. Running and driving. PAP in Lynnwood and Arlington always have a handfull of dual range 5 speeds. I just happened to buy a zero mile rebuilt for $250. Mistook it for a Legacy tranny til I saw the linkage on the side. Gonna keep it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one eye Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I got one for sale for 150 buck right now. If you go to PAP in Smokey point WA they are 150 bucks. 500 is outragous. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be heading out to subiemech85 to get a tail for my brat. Kind of off topic but I just got it lifted and Mic's LSD on and I have yet to mount the big tires I want to see how the 4spd does. We will see. Then it is going to get Mic's light bar on it and the Flat black rustoelem treamet.

Jeff[/quote Is this in Snohomish or Skagit? Are you referring to the one by Arlington next to the airport, by Lumbermens? Cuz they should be the same prices as Lynnwood and Tacoma PAPs'. Trannies are like $50.50 or $51.50 with $8.50 or $9.50 core(can't find one of my dozen or so parts lists stashed wherever). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They charge more for that. maybe it is 100 bucks. PAP will some times pull a fast one on ya, On the sheet of paper it says, Axles 11.50 , but in all truth they charge 18.50 and a 3.00 core. The guy who works there in Arlington told me to call and not just take the paper and assume that is the correct price. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brat_Dog Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I wish there was an actual decent yard around here. Jy parts appear to be nonexistent around here as well... I'd like to find one of those 5-speeds DR's for my brat too. Best of luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I got a d/r 5-speed with linkages and crossmember for $102.XX from the Tacoma PAP. Rob pulled it for me and was sitting in a wheel barrow when I got down there, RIGHT as they were closing. Gotta love Rob for that one:banana: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
