Exclamation Gearbox crunched

Had to call the breakdown out today since my RB5 got stuck in second and started to crunch the gears . I can't select any gears although it is still stuck in second. I'm almost sure its an internal gearbox problem, since the clutch still works fine. Can anyone give me any advice/help on how much a recon gearbox costs for a UK MY99 and where is the bext place to take the car? I am in Sanbach in Cheshire. ABP motorsport is down the road from me, has anyone used them and are they reasonable??

Thanks,

Dan.

You are in Scoobyclinic area there I think? Many rate them.
For mr, API engines would be my choice based on a couple of dealings with them last year.
They are close to Leamington Spar.

Try www.apiengines.co.uk and ask to speak to David.

No bullsh!t, straight dealing, reliable and a warranty too. Just got to get it there.

good luck, 911

Thanks for the advice. How much is a new or reconditioned gearbox?

At a guess, about £500 with, say, API removing the box and re fitting.

£500 including the labour? That's not too bad I guess. Might have to get a local garage to fit it though.

Cheers.
