Coz,
You're breakin' my heart. I won't change your mind, but I can't imagine any of those cars you've owned (except for the Porsches) being your every day driver: dropping the kids off at school, taking gramps to the doctor, sitting in rush hour traffic, rainstorms and all ther other things that would kill me, or my Pantera. But all I've spent on ZF in the past 20 years or so was $3,000 for the following:
2nd Gear
Thrust Washer
Split Shim
Bearing Bushing
Synchro Body
Thrust Washer
4th Gear Set
5th Gear Set
Safety Wire Kit
Gasket and Seal Kit
Stainless Vent Tube
PANTERA INTERNATIONAL
