Gearbox advise please
Discussion
hi
still intact but unded bolt and selector shaft has snapped.
the good thing is it about 6 inches from end so because in the tail of the box metal wont hopefully gone to gears. the bad thing is my cars done 16,000 miles and this gear box was brand new when the car was built.
i need to now find out someone who car rebuild these boxes near me.

Not sure. Would have thought the gear linkage is tried and tested by now... It wasnrt a recon box. It was brand new 2001 and only done very low mileage. Im wondering if outer bearing worn due to gear linkage and the shaft snaped as supported inside but not on outside due to bearing.. only a therory
Was it new 'out the box' or from a newish low mileage car.
Most of us have 'used' box's and have no idea how bad the accident was the caused the box' to be available. We therefore have no idea if any of the internals suffered and how long they will last.
I've never done it but am informed the tail section can be removed with ease and without the need for special tools so I would do that first and see how far it takes you.

Hi Dom
Sorry to hear this. I had the same a few years back. I got a local precision engineering firm to make a new one for me and found another local guy who took gearbox apart, checked everything else and fitted the new rod. He even cleaned the box for me, so it all went back clean. Total cost was about £200. If Nottingham isn't too far, message me and I'll see if I can find his number.
Good luck sorting it.

If it's any consolation I have suffered a bearing failure in my d/s rear wheel this weekend.
They only seem to give trouble when you use them!

Hi Dom,
I used Sports and Classic in Manchester, came recommended from the Porker forum, very pleased with the rebuild, Mike was great to deal with and very knowledgable.
