That sounds cheap!
mine was nearly double that with the labour & VAT.
It was bearings gone in mine (and probably yours also). I would ask them if they have experience of your specific box (R72) before you commit to it, and ask what the likley increase in costs would be if further parts needed.

Thanks, I'll call them tomorrow and check. The gearbox, apart from the problem with first, is very quiet and smooth, could it still be a bearing issue, also if there is even the slightest forward motion it selects first no problem every time, I thought this would be indicative of bad synchro.

See if they will send you an estimate and breakdown via email as we all know what it’s like, when you get there nobody can recall the conversation

Hey Kelky
Completely missed your offer earlier, I'm looking for a VVT as I want to do a bit of towing with it and I reckon the more torquey motor would be a godsend.
Good luck with your gearbox though.

I had mine done by a local gearbox and clutch centre for pretty much a similar price excluding parts. That was the fixed price labour charge, so check if parts are extra, I then supplied my own clutch and gear kitkelky7777 wrote: Thanks, I'll call them tomorrow and check.

Hi Caelite . it sold super quick, made me think I might have underpriced it, though I didn't lose on it so all good, the guy who bought it wanted it for hunting. Hope you find a good one
