I found an 01 SOM 6spd SS, looks like its in good shape body wise. It already has a 12bolt rear w/4.11's and a cam, trans was recently rebuilt. The guy said it needs a new torque arm, how hard is the install on that. I looked around online and it looks like they cost anywhere from $200-$500 is that correct? He is asking $9999 OBO what would be a fair price to pay? Also has 101K miles.
Thanks

torque arm wouldn't be bad at all to replace, and you can check them out here!

while you change the torque arm, might as well go a little further and swap the tranny mount to poly if the car doesn't already have one

I'd start negotiating at 8. i think 9999 is a little high for something with that many miles that needs a torque arm. But, I just did a clutch in my car, had to pull the aftermarket torque arm, and it was a pain in the ***, it wasnt hard by any means, but just getting the bracket off on the tranny was a pain because the bolts were so long that the bracket got stuck up against the tranny tunnel. However on my 02 ws6 its a two piece bracket and we got it apart and got the torque arm out of the way.
