yep they aint so cheap anymore. thats why i bought a spare when it was available. if you see one for under 500 buy it. you can always flip it for a few bucks.

Good lord! I'm glad I decided on a w58. Even if it only hold 400 hp (or something around that amount) I can get a spare at the junkyard for $200 if I break it.

Yeah but the yoda shifters are sper smooth. I had no idea they were so good. It just drops into gear with a breeze :) But having a 6th gear would be nice.

At that price I'd contemplate selling mine and grabbing a W58. I can get any transmission at my local yard for under $100, but finding an R154 may be difficult if demand is this high.
