I'd only take it if everything felt smooth, no other signs of issues, and I'd still pull the speedo sender to ensure it wasn't full of water at some point.
I'd also only make the deal if it was cheap, knowing that it probably needs bearings/synchros at a minimum.
If a seller wants top dollar, they'll show the buyer whatever the buyer wants to see.
yeah but you are taking the sellers **** apart, and you may not buy it... if you know how to feel it out youll know if parts are missing no need to pull side cover. you should feel the grinding.
