Its been doin it for about 1000 miles. Mmmmmmm. Do I source a complete recon or strip it down for a rebuild ? Recommendations please.

When puchasing a recon. Is there a standard list of items that are replaced or is it a lottery as to quality of 'if it ain't broke don't replace it'

Any recommendations as to suppliers of a recon 5 speed boxes.

Recon. I'm on my second professional rebuild of my 'Velle's original 'box and it's still not right. You get 12 months' warranty with a recon and it's not much more expensive than having your original 'box rebuilt. If you avoid removing and refitting the 'box a couple of times, the extra outlay will have been well worth it...

Vege have a good reputation and a no-quibble warranty, try GSF for the latest price. Wish I'd taken that route!

Whatever you do, use the best gear oil you can find.
