The only points to check if the box is out are:
- check you can get all the gears by moving the selector shaft by hand
- check the oil level is OK (should be up to the filler plug when level)
- check for leaks at the casing gaskets
- check the input shaft seal for leaks/condition
- check the input shaft spline for wear
- drain the oil, it should be nice and clean
- check the casings for any damage
- check the drive flange seals for leaks
- check for any slack in the diff by rotating one of the drive flanges, the other should move with no slopiness

Gearbox for Cabi
Any idea where I would be able to get my hands on a good second-hand gearbox for my '90 Cabrio? Am in Staffordshire, so anywhere close would be ideal … bus fare is a nightmare
Thanks a mil

Thanks for your reply Scouse. Where abouts could I get one and how much are they going for?
