Yaris T-Sport Advice

[mba]

Hey Guys.

I have a 2003 Yaris T Sport that developed a gravelly sound from gearbox - at around 89k I think. To cut a long story very short, after changing oil - using substance that was meant to quieten it, nothing worked and as the gear change itself was fine just lived with it.

The noise changed one evening and pulled over - it would not go into gear and the front wheels locked - transported back home.

Dilema now, love the car but little small for work I do sometimes. I know somebody who may be able to fit a reconditioned gearbox or do I cut my loses on what was an expensive ex-Toyota approved car?

Any advice on where to purchase reconditioned gearbox from reliable source or how much I would get selling as is - good condition/gunmetal grey would be great!

Thanks in advance.
