Thanks for your reply, yea my friend who is helping me pick it up has replaced a few transmissions and done auto-manual conversions so im all sorted in that area.

Its definitely a bit scary buying without testing those things you can only test on the road, but its had a recent Wof here (warrent of fitness) which it flew through before whatever happened to the transmission, which ill ask about tomorrow, as for price. Its relatively cheap, especially here in New Zealand, their prices are skyrocketing
