Broken My Gearbox

[Bibbs]

if its crunching then itll proll be ok for a while my current box as been crunching for a good old while now.

the reason you cant get reverse or sometimes fifth is cos the broken bits of syncro are wedging the selector forks.

priced the bits up think they came to about 180 quid so im putting ST-205 internals in mine and swaping the diff.

my experiance shows they usualy go without warning. both times mine went it was just like a missed shift!!!

Mine went *pop* when I'd got it into 3rd I think and then eased up off the clutch .. I am a bit heavy footed with the pedals though.

It's not *too* costly .. but I'll have a think about a dog box if I go through another ..

How long does the crunching usually last before it goes altogether?

What is the rough cost of a new or recon gearbox for an N/A?

Erm, mine wasn't crunchy .. and it lasted till it went *bang* ..

£300 for 2nd hand, about £600+ for a re-con.

Got my 18"s too now .. but I've got no car for them to go on :(

Few lessons :)

Big explosions from the rear of the car are bad.

A 2" hole in the G'box is very bad.

Driving with no fluids in the G'box is very, very bad.

Nope, the hole came from something deciding to bake a bid for freedom from INSIDE the box ..
