[Mk2] [Turbo] Gearbox repair costs

[Red]

Looks like my input shaft bearing needs replacing

Got an approximate quote of £800 to sort. After lots of umming and ahhing I’ve decided to bite the bullet and get it done. Is £800 a reasonable price?

Thanks in advance for any advice,

Dave

Rev2 turbo btw

Cant you get a second hand box for a couple of hundred quid, should get a decent working one for that. 800 seems quite a lot.

Thanks for your reply

I think the majority of the cost is labour. Without the facilities I'd have to pay to get my box taken out and the new one added anyway.

Perhaps a better question would have been how many hours labour is required to drop and remount the box?

Oh also consider changing the clutch at the same time!

Thanks for this. I'm guessing that the price on the refurbished box would exclude fitting though.

Also other than the bearing the box is in good shape

Will definitely consider getting the clutch done while I'm at it though!

Cheers,

I was quoted £400 by a local garage for a re-con gearbox and that included fitting, although that was an N/A.

Hello mate, any chance you could post or PM me their number? Might give them a shout to see if they can do a tubby box for similar money or drop and fix mine.
