Default What would you do...m6

Goodmorning,

My cars 3th gear does not work (car shake heavely when releasing clutch in 3th i just drive it 1-2-4)

I got 2 options: buy a used 93 (dont know how many miles it has on it and dont know if its a m28 or m29) it has a B&M short shifter and a Spec stage 4 clutch for about $1100 (i saw that the 93's has higher ratios then the 94 and up)

Or buy a overhaul kit for my 94 and let someone rebuild it (seems like a lot of work i dont know if i can do it) and bytheway if i rebuild it can i install 93's ratios in it?

What would you do?

93 T56 is rated 350 ft lbs tq
94-97 is 450 ft lb tq

get yours repaired, to many unknowns on a 24 year old tranny that was likely never driven by a "grandmother"....

A lot depends on your budget.

But having yours rebuilt "could" be the cheapest and simplest option....of course it depends just how bad it is and what parts are available or not.

Or just try and find a good honest used gearbox ? But as above, old and unknowns
