Hi all,

Looking for a reputable gearbox builder in central Scotland, Ayrshire/Glasgow area if possible, looking for recommendations from satisfied customers if possible rather than what google would throw up.

Posting on behalf of a friend who has a Mazda 323 GTR gearbox that requires a rebuild, a very uncommon car so need someone who really knows what they are doing, although I'm sure to a specialist they are all the same inside!

Cheers.

Gearbox specialist in Falkirk who rebuilt my sunny gti-r gearbox.
i'm sure they are called A.S.K. transmission, but if they're not let me know and i will dig out all the info for you. They are located just up from the roundabout at Benny T's fish/chip shop.

Couple of answers in a thread I started a while back, including the one mentioned above.

I ended up going down a different route so don't have any personal recommendation to make.

A lot of garages recommend these guys in Glasgow http://www.mackie-transmission.com/

Worth at least a call or visit as very helpful, though I ended up scrapping my car when the box gave up the ghost.
