Problems with MZ20 Soarer? I'm thinking about buying one.

Ok, I'm pretty keen on buying a 7MGTE MZ20 Soarer.
I'm hoping people can list some problems with these cars and perhaps some pictures of some.
I am aware of the problems with the head gasket and this has been sorted.
A friend of mine had one of these and constantly blew up gearboxes... I can't afford for this to happen as I need the car to be reliable and I probably won't have the money to replace, so is this an issue?
Cheers
Paul

2 options
1) Replace auto with R154/W58
2) Drive like a grandpa

Is it really that bad?
What does the R154 go for?
Cheers

They are pimp cars from the factory. You just have to fully realise their pimping nature.
Do a search because I asked this question a while ago.
