This box is 300 posted

Then throw in a clutch 200

100 labour = 600

Or recon own box 600
New clutch200
Labour 100. = 900 I ant got

I see where your coming from bud......did the exact same with a evo8 , box lasted me 3 weeks and cost me £550 s/h....recon was £900, ended up costing me over £2k with all the labour swapping boxes twice / fluids etc

I see it as false economy now

I asked him any guarantee on the box and he said he would offer me month guarantee with the box he also got 100% feedback and over 2000 sales

Messaged another seller with a recon box and he wants 380 and 120 postage

Just trying to keep the cost down only had the car 2 months and spent a small fortune already
