Hi, just driving home and turned into my road fairly quick in second gear, there was a bit of a jolting then it started to make a crunching sound.
Put it into third to get it to my drive.

Now its realy hard to get into 1st, put it in 2nd and lift the clutch out and it does nothing, 3rd 4th 5th and reverse are fine at the minute, does this sound like second has given up on me?

 

Yep.

Whar sort of mods do you have, what gearbox and any idea of the torque it's been taking?

 

yeh, you have stripped 2nd gear.

 

Damn it!!

The only mods are de-cat centre and some silicone intercooler pipes and inlet pipe.

Is it worth gettting the box referbed or should i just get a second hand one?

As far as i know its a standard UK turbo box, it was only replaced two years ago before i bought it!

 

Buy a 2nd hand one, then get the other refurbed. Then you will have two! Im on my third box now.

 

How much roughly is it to get it refurbed?!

 

It all depends if you are going to remove and refit it yourself!

 

Price will depend on the box.

The code is on the side of the bell housing, visible from the passenger side.

 

Yeah im going to remove and refit myself!

Not sure of the code yet but its a MY00 UK turbo if that helps?

 

Probably TY754VN1AA then.
