After spending nearly 7k on it during the last 9 months, my s5 is buggered again. Had full clutch. And flywheel replacement a few months ago, but sounds like I've buggered the 2nd and reverse gear (beside each other in the box) whilst driving when it was on it's way out.

I've been recommended mackies in Glasgow but I'm Sheffield and Swindon areas, anyone know anywhere closer recommended by ZF that can look into it. Reconditioning sounds like a decent option.

What prices should I expect, I know a full gearbox is about 4k and it's a six and a half hour job.....so if I can get away with much less than this I'd be happy.

Then it's time to sell the little bugger.

How much you end up paying if you don't mind me asking? Also does the work come under warranty?

What I think will peeve me is most gearbox work warranties rely on clutch replacement, having just had mine done, I really don't wanna have it done again.
