Gearbox has just failed - where best to get used box?

[clett]

Hi all,

Just one week after replacing a rear caliper, subframe, power steering pipes and clutch.... third gear has exploded! After a very ordinary motorway drive, slowed down on the slip road and 3rd (but no other gears) made a noise like a plane taking off. Got steadily worse over the two or so miles back home.

Any suggestions on where is the best place to source a used (6-speed) gearbox, with the best chance of it being a good one?

Much appreciated!

I'd try Rutland MR2, the breakers, since you're in Leicester.

And D1 Customs to fit it!! Well catered for in Leicester.

As above.

How much is it to have a gearbox refurbished?
Ask steve @ d1 what he thinks.
You get more peace of mind that way.

+2 to a Steve assessment.

+3 for Steve, he is excellent

Having some trouble contacting Rutland MR2 - does anyone have a telephone number for them?
