Here's a few pics of my mate John's gearbox..... Nasty









&



& £1500 later back on the road

 

How the hell did that happen?

Dipster

 

yikes! looks expensive!


what spec is the car?

 

Some munching has been going on inside that 'box

I'm waiting for my Runabout Nissan to do that soon...it sounds like it has straight-cut gears

 

expensive like £1500. Can someone explain why it's so expensive? parts? labour intensive?

Stefan

 

It's a MY95 WRX..



Whilst changing gear from 2nd to 3rd giving it a bit of stick it just went *BANG* (after watching Getaway in Stockholm )

£1500 include a new cluch too, but very labour intensive & genuine parts too

 

And a very Tasty Wrx at that too

is that leather interior?

......Mmmmmmm Leather!

 

Yep leather too !!!

He's put the 99/00 front end on it aswell !

 

£1500 !!!!!! RIPPED OFF!!!!

 

£1500 ????? £ 400 for s/h box ????

eh?? clutch £ 200-300

he wants his head checkin??

will

 

Hmmm, provided the box was rebuilt by a dealer and comes with a couple of years guarantee, it might be a reasonable deal. Under any other circumstances, as has been said, it's a "fool and his money" job...

So I take it you know the extent of the damage then ????
Didn't think so !!

How longs a s/h box gonna last... You don't know it's history !

Jesus jump on the band wagon !! It's not your money is it !!

 

Calm down m8, people have their opinions and some have professional experience.

Did he buy a new box or was it just rebuilt. If so, then there's no gaurantee it will last either. Obviously if it's given a warranty with the Dealer, then it would be a good deal if it ever went bang again.

I was still pretty shocked by the costs.

Stefan

 

AFAIK it's had a full rebuild.. Thats all the salvagable parts left others were in bits & bearings everywere (lay shaft, etc etc). Yes it's under warranty but I don't know how long, didn't ask.

lol

 

no offence intended mate just alot of money

will

 

each time the third gear,obviously.
you are'nt the first.
