hi my gearbox might be on its way out so where the best place to get my box reconditioned in the bristol area and how much is it going to set me back?

thanks tina

I'm in bristol and can recondition your box for free if you like?

id take andy up on that offer
I live in bristol too and had mine done via bedminster road garage. they sent it just over the road. top notch service.
If you need the gearbox places name or number pm me and ill hunt out the paper work!

just had mine rebuilt for just under £600 including fitting and oils - as a rough price

hey guys,

Thank you very much for ur offers on sorting my box out for free
If u would love to pay for it for me i would love u forever as im totally skint atm lmao!

Back to a serious note i really now need to know info on where i can get this sorted to and any info would be brill!!
Im not 100% certain that it is my box, but do have a feeling that its gone?! what are the signs for it? mines whinying in every gear and only started this morning while i drove to work!

Would it damage it any more if i kept driving it or do any more damage to anything else do u no? or should i just leave it until i get sum1 have a look at it etc?!!

if any of u guys could help me out i would totally b greatful!!
thanks xx

Personally i would avoid driving it, as eventually the bearings inside will sheer off and all hell will break loose inside- which then may puncture the gearbox casing, which would complicate matters as a whole new box will be required other than just reconditioning the internals. likely to be more costly too!
