The reason i said a gearbox rebuild was £1000 is because that's what mine cost to get rebuilt, granted the engine was already out and it wasn't a complete rebuild, just new syncros and so on but it was £1k.
Oh and if a gearbox isn't working properly and you have to resort to doubling the clutch i think it's fair to say it's shot. You may well be able to still drive it and get by but it doesn't change the fact that it's knackered

does a notchy gearbox when cold mean we throw all the toys out of the cot and drop the box? when warm she's perfect, I double de clutch cause I do as a matter of course. Granted the gearbox may not be in its first bloom, nevertheless I think it is totally un-necessary to drop the box and if I was a betting man I'll get a pile more mileage out of it. To say its shot imho simlpy is niave unless your from the brigade that has more money than sense.....actually why don't i just put a match to the car as the heater matrix squeaks, theres a few stone chips on the front and there's a non OEM exhaust on her and the turbo charger is original..............

Sorry, i didn't realize that you "double the clutch" just because you enjoy doing it, i'm sure you have lots of fun. Don't set fire to it though, that's just silly
