new gear box?

hi i really need to find a acd gearbox cant find one anywhere

Where have you looked?

They are out there! I have one on my car and my mate has one on his MK2!!!!

i have tried crazyquiffs and ebay but nothing idealy i would like one with warrenty or does anyone know of a garage around the torbay or devon area that would recon the box i have already in my car thanks

I thought Crazyquiff reconditioned them (supplied them reconditioned....)?

A re con box is very expensive isnt it? I'm looking for one for my gti around devon too. Only cause the syncro is going in 2nd, the usual!

The way I look at it, there's 2 paths you can take:

1. Buy a secondhand box for (going rate is) ?50 or so, swap it and see how it is. It might not be perfect, its a bit of a risk but it would be better than yours if it has a serious fault. You might have bad luck and have to buy another gearbox again, so its ?100 all in, plus the hassle of changing it twice, collecting the box, etc.

2. Play safe and buy a reconditioned box at around ?450.

Option 2 has its advantages if your car is a daily driver and you rely on it, or if you can't do the work itself and have to pay the labour for a garage to do it. In the grand scheme of things, ?450 isn't that much for a gearbox - there's many cars where its ?1000-1500 for a box!
