its for sale, i was under the impression that the bearing had gone in the gear box which handles the gears which dont work, i could be complettley wrong and as previously mentioned on the thread may just be one gear need replacing.

if its just one gear or a whole box, its still a good deal ,

yer still for sale, got loads of 4 k offers but really want the askin

To replace 5th gear you're looking at about £200

if its just one gear, and then theres the fitting costs, ever time ive paid to have a box in or out before its been £300, i just cant afford it.

so folks could be a really good bargain it its just one gear.

I'm interested, but am just wondering if there's any other weak points to the running gear etc due to the power? Forgive me, don't know too much about Scoobs (except that they're awesome :D )

well haven't had any problems regarding any of the running gear, the only reason fifth gear went was because it wasn't upgraded,

the previous owner is subscribed to the thread so ill ask him

Is there not a possibility there is more damage than just a broken 5th gear cog? surely people can only speculate the damage until the box is opened and inspected.

Correct, but 5 k, it's a deal either way ?

My old car - it's a PPG straight cut gearbox (google it for more info) like the scoob rally cars of old so is very strong, people running big power either go 6 speed or this. Advantage of the PPG is that it's a lot lighter than the 6 speed. The straight cut gears 1 through 4 should be very strong, 5th was left standard to give a higher top end & indeed this is what most people do with it. As Banny says above a simple repair should only be a few hundred £'s ...

It's a bloody bargain imho esp considering what's been spent to get it to almost 450hp - look at the parts & add up the cost. if I had £5k I'd buy it back.

Thank mr tx,

Banny, who would you suggest for the 5th gear repair, and what power is the PPG is question rated to? Ive heard to many folk reverting back to 6 Speed having owned PPG due to failures beyond 450-500bhp (the rated power output of these)

ps Im asking as im interested in the car dooda ;)

i really dont like threads like this. such good and well spec cars going for silly low money! like others have said above, it i had the money i would snap his arm off.

i know form first hand experience how much £££ it takes to get a classic into these numbers!

what a bargin,glwts:)

£3k + VAT for a 6 speed conversion

I got a quick quote as I was tempted by this one :)

Andy @ Richard Henry did my one when it broke :thumb:

Good honest advert, I wish I was in a position to buy. :confused:

What a spec!

have seen a little rs turbo for peanuts on piston heads, so any one have any sensable offers ?? pm me

YHM ;)

cant reply to ur pm as ur inbox is too full

I know someone who will supply and fit all in for no more than £2.5K

£3.6k sounds waaayyyy to expensive to me

Depends on the set up.Hawks 6 speed might reach 3k fitted:)

rob days breaking widetrack with dccd 6speed all hubs etc he wants 2500 ono unless hes sold it?

replied mate, sorry i took so long

Sorted! Cheers Pete was great to chat. See you later this week ;)

I've had to pull out of this, due to being an idiot and jumping in before I knew what numbers could be involved with a box rebuild.

Pete has been a spot-on guy and very upfront, so sorry to be a pain in the ass.

really put me in a jam, ive paid a deposit for a rs turbo which i am supposed to be picking up on sunday, must sell within this week.
