How much for new gearbox and fitting?

[samu23]

Gearbox just failed on me, got a rev 1 tubby. How much should i expect to pay for a gearbox and then how much would it cost to fit?

On another note, its in a pay to park space atm, is there a towing point on the mk2 mr2?

Cheers

Depends on what condition box you are after. I just sold a Rev 3 box that had been stripped and inspected, worn parts replaced etc (which cost £175 to do) for £375.
A box off of a car that has had no work done to it, i personally would not pay more than £100-£150 depending on mileage etc.

Ok sourced a gearbox, how much would a garage charge to change these over?

Have a word with Nathan at Century Motorsport. He did mine, highly recommended. Cost will be have to be discussed with him though as i had other works done at the same time.

i guess it will be same as a clutch change job

if that helps,

i think that sit at anything between 200 to 300
if you need to change clutch may be the good time to do it

Would any rev box fit? Or does have to be rev 1/2?

Thanks for your help, gonna be look at about £500 overall then?

If you put in a rev2 box which has lsd then you'll need to change the shafts, possibly hubs, but would be a good upgrade tho.

Am in Sussex too but changing gearboxes on the drive on someone elses car isnt one of them jobs I would do I'm afraid.

I would defo be buying a new clutch while the box was out tho.

Ok some good news, its just the cable between the gear lever and the box has snapped, trying to source a new one.

Should be alot cheaper than a whole new box!

Matey, I have a set of gear cables and in hailsham.

If you want them today, £10 and you can collect !
