Gearbox went after the oil seal gave up.

Trying to source one for yonks now, any ideas where to get one? where to rebuilt or any other suggestions re if other gearboxes fit?

Spent a whole fortune on this car already: engine blewnot long ago and now the gearbox!

Any help appreciated. As username, it's a 2000 UK HSV GTR Numero 007

Thanks

Thanks guys.

Engine was rebuilt by Mark at Linden but it seems that there are problems trying to get hold of a reasonably priced gearbox. Was quoted £4k so I am trying to get hold of a cheaper one if possible.

Cost me £10k last year in rebuilt and service alone.

Will post pics when I get my digicam out, the car's at garage now.

Any more ideas guys?

This is what I've got from the car. Will take a pic when the box comes out this weekend.

Thanks everyone!

From reading all the literature, I think the GTS and GTS-R gearboxes should be the same? They seem to use similar ratios.

But if someone can confirm, it'll be great!

By the way, I would like to invite all who helped to the grand opening of our bar/lounge in October (but in Manchester though).
