I think you should pay to sell, if that's what you want to do.

Think you would get between 2k and 2.5k if you selling it, stipping prob less mate.

Speak to one of the breakers on here as those gearboxes are cheap you could put a newage 5 speed in it which is even stronger than your original, they go for anything from £200 to £500 so not really a major reason to let it go for peanuts if it owes you a few grand.

Typical keyboard worrier attitude. i'm asking for genuine advice pal. I'm a fully paid up member and not looking to sell etc just looking at my options.

Thanks for your advice!

Not that difficult to do a gearbox swap over a weekend, all you need is a jack, axel stands and a socket set, piece of pee really, £200 box and a £100 on tools + 6hrs of your life as opposed to taking a major hit on what you have already spent, loads of guides how to do it and i'm sure some of the essex scooby crew wouls help for a brew and a few beers.

Save up and put a box in it buddy, really wouldn't fetch much as it is. You would regret it if you let it go for peanuts, trust me.
