Hey, My gearbox is pretty much in need of a reco. Needs the bearings and all that junk done. Im just wondering, does anyone from this site do gearboxes or does anyone know a cheap/good place to get it done at in Sydney? Thanks, Tim.

Gave that Gearbox Express a call and they seem to be around the best price so far. To replace the seals and bearings and stuff like that its $660 and they take out the box and replace it. Or if the box is like beyond repair or some of the synchros too f*cked its $990 for like a whole different box with all new gear in it. So if i dont find anyhing better shortly i'll be taking it to them.

That sounds like a really good price considering most wreckers in sydney want about $550 for a 2nd hand box alone. Wish I had of known about that before I started changing my box! It isn't the easiest job...

Yeah some places i ring say just to change the bearings prices start at $1000. And some places only let you bring the box only and no car attached and still want like $800 for the minor things to be changed.
