So I took my '13 Passat NMS to the California DMV Referee station the other day for 1 last attempt to get it smog'd. It failed and it has now been 10 months since the car had current registration tag's so I am giving up and selling it back.
Here is what I need opinions on. Should I pay $750.00 to swap out my modified transmission with the spare stock transmission I have in my garage and attempt to sell the modified one? With labor I have almost $5000.00 into the modified transmission.
Obviously there is not going to be a market for it. I would have to get lucky and find someone like myself that is working on an eccentric mod like me.
The modified trans has the following:
WaveTrac limited slip dif
Luk flywheel that supersedes the stock/OEM fw
SPP clutch pack
External cooler and oil pump - turns on when/if the trans fluid reaches a temp threshold. Stock/OEM cooler still runs full duty
New oil pan fitted with AN8 fittings, Oil lines
Some new bearings
On/Off switch to manually activate the secondary cooler if so desired
DSG Tune with launch control, no rev limit.
So, do I spend even more money in hopes of finding a buyer or just cut my loss and walk away?
Thanks all!
