Club 80-90 Forums

Hi this is my first posting, I have a 5 speed gearbox that destoyed 4 gear last year, I had it 'rebuilt' at a cost of £850 and no the main bearing is on the way out and the guy wants another £550 for that as he didn't do that bit!! He must think I came down with the last shower of rain. I did not take him up on his kind offer and have sourced a replacement gearbox locally, I need it fitting, is there anyone out there in the Leicester area who would be prepared to do this for me, bearing in mind it is a hi top so won't fit on a lot of ramps.

Welcome to the club ... swapping a WBX 5sp that's been in and out recently (thus no foooked cv bolts etc) should only take 3 hours tops (me and Mr T.Onion had mine out on the floor in 24 minutes) Get down and dirty and read the wiki.
