Default 2000 Insight Rebuilt 5-speed transmission?

I have a 2000 Insight with 160,000 miles, getting hard to downshiift into 2nd and probably needs a new clutch as well (still on original clutch). Anyone know a good source for a reliable Rebuilt 5-speed transmission? Thanks! Aaron in Mountain View, CA.

Hey Aaron,

I have one for sale, and I'm in San Jose (talk about local!):
FS: 2006 Insight 5spd Transmission 29k miles

I even have the clutch with 33k miles on it if you want that for a sweet deal

Your clutch should be fine at 160,000 miles unless you have absolutely terrible clutching techniques. Many people here get well over 200k out of them.
