Are you still looking for an 'a' series 60 5 speed, I have one that has been checked out by mechanic, the only replacement part required and fitted was a new thrust bearing.
The box is still 'tight'ie - the gear stick selection is positive and not like a pudding stick. Box was running b 4 being pulled out and checked, there were no problems.
Let me know if you are interested, can put on skid/pallet for shippment to Tas as I am in Vic, been there, done that in the tpt industry so I can get u a very competitive rate if you are interested.
Let me know, Sam.
p.s. i am only putting it on the market now, check this link for feebay as this is about the going rate for a 60 series 5sp box now.
