Hey, unfortunately my transmission was damaged by some debris on the road and is now leaking fluid. I have attempted all the jank fixes like JB weld with little to no success. So, now I am reaching out to see if anyone might have a good transmission for sale that can be shipped to my home address or if anyone has suggestions on the best place to purchase a used unit from. Thanks!

Check out PumaSpeed. They will ship them from the UK for less then they are listed on car-part

Just did this…about $1,800 delivered from the UK. New LSD, LSD bearings, and axle seals are installed.
My transmission from PumaSpeed ended up about $2,700, but included the ST200 pressure plate, disc and new flywheel. Puma claimed less than 40,000 miles and supposedly has Quaife. Did you have good luck with yours, could you tell me, through driving feel, that the part actually has an LSD installed?

I got a transmission with a Quaife from PumaSpeed a few years ago. Shipping took like 2 days from the UK (impressive), but the packaging was a bit lacking, however, transmission has worked without issue on track for a couple years now. Casing was definitely opened as they used quite a bit of silicone to re-seal it. For sure has a diff. installed, feels very different on track. If it came down to it, I'd certainly order another one if I needed to. Only issue was the plastic vent cap got broken in transit, but I just swapped the one from my stock transmission.

I tried to buy a used transmission from Pumaspeed and somehow it was returned to them without even passing the border. I just re-ordered the quaife gear box afterward, hopefully it can be ship over. My transmission was shot (bearings came loose and shot through the housing). I was going to send it to Clarke but it was beyond repair when I opened it. I was surprised my engine outlast it while running at 35 PSI.

Was this very recently? Typically they use DHL, and right now DHL has put a temporary hold on business to consumer imports with values over $800 because they have to go through the full process now (starting this Monday), where it used to be a simpler process for anything under $2500 value. I have a set of wheels that have been hanging out in customs for the last week.

The one i ordered took about three weeks to get here. It bounced around the UK for about two weeks. I was told by Pumaspeed it looked like FedEx sent it to the wrong hub at first. Anyways when it did start moving it went to France. It did arrive on a small pallet, strapped down, no damage.

They used UPS for that shipment, it was just this past week, now back to the waiting game :(. The other stuff like my st200 clutch and plate were shipped through DHL that arrived within a couple of days.

Nice, they told me that they were unsure of availability. They will probably have to build one which may take time.
