Carina 2.0TD gearbox??

[bobcat]

Hi everyone,

I have a great Carina R reg 2.0TD, purchased from Toyota back in 1998, I dont do many miles now (5000 a year) but it still has over 220,000 miles.

Its been a super car, and has a lot of sentimental value.

I have a slight issue with the gearbox, when i change down from 3rd to 2nd its difficult to get in, especially when cold..i spoke to a gearbox specialist who thinks its a cracked hub? or similar. He said the parts were unlikely to cost more than £150 but would charge £350 to strip/rebuild the box. All the other gears go in fine.

As the car is realistically only worth £500 max I dont want to spend £500 on the box, I can manage running it as it is, but its a pain.

Does anybody know of a diesel carina that I could the gearbox from, or know any Toyota enthusiast who has a passion for fixing gearboxes cheap!!

Thanks guys.

Bob
