Sorry for the thread but I'm using a phone.
As title really what sort of price should I be lookin at to have the box on my 96 WRX reconned with new clutch?(if its apart may as well change it)

Cheers

Dont... you're looking at silly money. You're better off picking up a low mileage 2nd hand one from here. Plenty on sale all the time.

Recon box £900 (just the syncro's)
Replacement box £200 (if that)

ideal engines will do a recon box fitted for about £600, NE london, so not too far from you.

I had one from them on my last scoob with no issues, delivered for £295

It depends what is wrong with your box. If the gears sets are gone forget it as the parts are prohibitively expensive.

I had a box overhauled by Trade Transmissions in Peterborough a couple of years back
All bearings and synchros replaced and 12 months warranty around £300 IIRC.

Swapped out the boxes myself as I was quoted around £400 for the actual in/out work. So a recon box fitted for £600 is pretty good going. That's if the warranty is worth anything. Ideal Engines rings a bell. Anything to do with SMR?

Add about £150 for a standard Exedy clutch.

Good luck




:)

To be honest I'd thought about a second hand one but I really dont want to have the same thing happen a little while down the line.
The price is around what Ive been quoted so pretty happy with that :confused: in a scooby lovin kind of way :D

Will find out tomorrow what the problem is, but Ive been told that he is 90% sure its the box as there is a lot of play on the shafts that go in to it :cry::cry:
