I ended up getting a 'rebuilt' WC T5 with the s-10 tailhousing attached off of ebay about a month ago. It was more than I wanted to spend, but after checking out prices I thought it was a pretty good deal.

Here are some pics of the tranny - I am a little concerned:

Do I need to be concerned about this damage?


Do you guys think I should pull it apart to see what it looks like inside?

I also need to figure out what bell housing to use and what to do about a driveshaft.
