RUF 5 speed transmission for sale or trade
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a 1988 911 turbo that I am returning to stock. I would like to sell my RUF 5 speed transmission out right for $7,995 or $5000 + your mint 4 speed. The 5 speed RUF functions perfectly and was recently rebuilt. I have left it in the car in case somebody wants to test it before I remove it. Any questions please email me directly.

Fair price for this unit, I was considering it when I saw it on Renn, but I did some research and the parts are getting really hard to find. It be a great piece for someone who is not considering driving their 930 too hard.
Good luck with your sale, it should go quickly on this forum |

The parts are not that hard to find they are basically a 930 box plus a fifth gear so a lot of parts will be interchangeable.

This was a post that I found when I was considering buying this tranny when he listed it on Renn
Quote:
That was posted in 2004, so unless they started making parts since then, I would assume that parts are harder to find now than they were 6 years ago. This is why I decided to go with a G50 conversion in my build. I didn't want to get into a situation where I wore out a syncro or gear and couldn't find the parts to replace it. |

That's a pretty brutal post on a for sale thread, but then again this isn't a for sale forum either...

I do not recall saying it was a kit but... whatever I have had them on a table in front of me back in the day at Autobahn in NYC same guy later got work done at Autosport performance in Englewood NJ. I have a G50/50 in mine.

I'm not sure i understand..... The four speed boxes are being rebuilt all the time, no issues with parts! Has anyone heard of a 5th gear in ANY box ever going? It's always the lower gears that get grief, and all the stuff for rebuilding the lower gears is readily available. If i hadn't just fitted a G50 i'd buy this box without even seeing it

RUF 5 speed sale or trade - Rennlist Discussion Forums and was VERY interested in it. But after some research, it seemed that parts are getting hard to find. I am planning on driving my car hard and I am not making it a trailer queen, so I decided it was not worth the risk.... that is why I posted this >>>> Quote:
The last post that you seem to think was "brutal" was in reply to someone that said that parts are easy to find. So, am I misinformed? Are parts hard to find or are they not? Did I state that this was a fair price in a previous post? Honesty isn't brutal in my book. |

Hey Merlin - no harm meant. I was kind of joking. I ran into this for-sale thread (on the 930 forum!) and saw your post about better value elsewhere. I'm sure I didn't get the context correct, but it made me chuckle nonetheless

I think you're fine. Folks who are willing to spend that kind of money are probably in search of this specific piece. Personally, if I tried to spend $8K on a tranny, my wife would slap me and tell me to buy her a Miata!

No doubt I'd enjoy it, but I've been blessed from upon high with an auto enthusiast wife
