Hi all,

Ok so mechanical fukkery by the OPC who did the gearbox has caused it to need replacement 2 years after they fixed it. Do i have any legal recourse on them? do they warrant thier work and for how long?

Oh and does anyone have a second hand box i can buy???

Try the following items on eBay:

320072077274
320072077614

http://www.sportwageneiden.de/default.htm 

I have no affiliation with the seller, but have used him before and can recommend him 100%. Moreover, should you elect to buy from him and then collect the gearbox, the automotive porn in the form of assorted 911RSs, 993GT2s and 993RSRs parked in his workshop is well worth the visit alone. Lastly, the guy is a keen racer and offers some parts at a decent discount...

Sorry to hear of your woe's - bloody OPC's!!

Had a problem with the bearings in my 968 CS gearbox a few years back, got it sorted/full rebuild by Competition Transmission Services (http://www.gearboxman.co.uk/) for 750 quid.

Also have a look on the UK 968 forums's (http://www.porsche968uk.co.uk/phpbb/index.php), someone might be able to help or suggest something.
