Think i'm being shafted by my gear box
I have a Blob eye and damn sure my gearbox bearings are shot so made the dreaded phone call to subaru about changing it to which i nearly fell over!!!
They quoted me 3 hours labour to take the box out at £90 per hour and the same to reinstall. So 6 hours at £90 and 2 hours to strip it and and the same to put it back together.. So 10 hours labour at £90 and what ever the parts are so i'm looking at a minimum of £1000 really.. Does any one know how long it takes and if i'm being shafted or more to the point where near gloucestershire i can get my gearbox sorted.. thank you

No specialist tools needed?? But sounds pretty easy. I'm pretty good with a spanner but never done it before so not very sure i think my brother may come in handy. lol thank you very much i will take note and go for it all i need now is the the model number which is on the bell housing isn't it?
