Don't talk to me about gearboxes! Although I didn't find it at all difficult on the two ocasions I did it in 2008.
Not wishing to be insensitive or nosey but do you have some reason for not wishing to save some dosh by a couple of hours grubbing about on the floor? Apart of course from the fact that it is testicularly brassy outside!

Cheers guys, just a little too far to travel.

It would have been a straight swap, Aiden Talbot gearbox built and in my garage, full clutch kit from RJES all oil and gaskets. Ready to go.

Ok total rephrase of original question. Who is fairly local to me who could assist in changing my gearbox this weekend. I need to get this sorted before it causes any damage.

I will happily pay for your expenses and feed bacon sarnies.

PM me if you can help and become an 80-90 star :wink:
