Hi All,

Can anyone recommend a gearbox specialist to strip and rebuild my F20 Vauxhall gear cluster somewhere near-ish to Chichester / Portsmouth?

It's for my race car and will require modification / conversion from 5speed to 2speed with machined adaptor pieces made as required so it's not your standard strip & rebuild. I have a template gear cluster to copy but will still need someone that knows gearboxes and can make the spacer pieces.

Thanks,
Mike

It might be a bit out of the way, but Hammerton Garage in Botley are good. Had our Bora box reconditioned there and it was cheaper than anywhere else and it's still running better than it ever did!

Get yourself over to MIGWEB and ask the same question in the south central region. It is the most active region with some very good people who can offer recomendations.

All the Noble Guys use TheGearboxman, he makes ours stronger and machines them up to add cooling.

He has a very good rep for all makes of boxes, however you will have to send it off to him.
