Why not rebuild? The BW 71c are a simple transmission that can be rebuilt to as good as new by any decent rebuilder. I was quoted $1200 to do mine by the top notch rebuilder in my area with about a week turnaround.
Can you even get a new 71C? I believe they discontinued this model years ago and replaced it with the 72c. The 72C is about 2 inches longer so you may have to redo your mounts to accomodate the longer transmision length.
Does the $5000 quote for a new tranmission include installation?
