Yeah, but if you go to the trouble of stripping a gearbox, you want to give it the works, i.e. a full recon. By the time you have it apart it isn't worth the bother not to. A good gearbox specialist should be able to quote for the job. It may be more expensive than buying a s/h replacement, but it ought to be as good as a new one. Gearboxes seem to be a weak link in the rev 1 and 2 tubbie, buying a s/h one would be a bit risky IMO.

Surely they shouldn't go at less then £60K miles!

But you do rag your car.

Its all well getting a quote for £200 for the box... its the fitting price thats gonna kill you!

As mikeB said a recon box will be better in the long run, but it depends how long you intend to keep the car.
