Yeah i thing its better to make them powder coating it will be more durable.. also i found a 5speed tranny and cross checked the rates one person is selling at 12k with replacement and 2nd is asking 22k with replacement 2nd seller showed me the difference btw 80 & 82 model,, for 82 model tranny he offered me 13k but to install that tranny a have to sacrifice my hand break cuz the lever is almost at the end of tranny.
