850 Manual Trans at Pic N Pull

FYI: saw this today at the Sherwood Pic N Pull in Metro Portland OR area

www.picknpull.com/check-inventory/vehic ... 04S2153094

Car has a manual 5 speed in it. External slave cyl. Not sure if it's original or it was swapped in but able to shift it into all 5 gears (+ R) sitting in the yard.
I don't need it but thought someone might be looking for one? Aren't these hard to come by?

Moderator: feel free to move this to more appropriate thread if needed. Hope someone gets this before the car is crushed..!

Tracking them down here in the states has proven to be a task these days!

Robert is having a hard time finding 850 Ms to harvest now, and he goes to salvage yards like it's his Religion.
The 850 cables and pedal box stuff seems to be especially precious.
