[Jimlad]

[blue-baby]

Ive been told its MAJOR work to DIY :o

[Bibbs]

a *lot* of work .. I've got to do my diff again I think ..

If you have your's spare Jim ..

[ricomr2]

I was considering doing this job for him but after seeing the amount of work involved in doing it i kinda changed my mind :D

Local garage has quoted around £165-£180 for the job

[JappyBeast]

As I said when we were out on the pish, its a mahoooosive job.

[JappyBeast]

What do you want to change the gearbox into BTW?

[Jimlad]

gonna get the garage to do it for certain!!

They need to !Removed! about with the diff etc, so easier letting them do it.

PS : will be selling my old box for much cheapness for refurb/repair/spare etc... anyone interested?

A little off topic I know but any of u know how much for a local garage to change a clutch?

[Ntensity]

Why dont you just get a B&M style shortshifter? They are better than the TRD style shifters apparantly.

You bought 2 clutches?

Clutch kit for an n/a non import is £60, £90 for the import plus VAT

Rest was labour.

[bh969]

Where was it £60 lol

[bh969]

Is there a diffrence between a Clutch and a Clutch kit what would be easyest?

[JappyBeast]

Eh?

The clutch was £60 for the non import and £90 for the import.

[em_ar_two]

yes i bought two clutchs, errr no why the %$( would i buy two clutchs numb nuts, i was charged 180 for the fitting of the clutch plus the cost of the clutch, was it really that hard to understand

Sorry, that just sounds like you bought 2 clutches to me. No need to be rude.

Oh Rico, I'm still bitter about having to have my Siggy reduced!

[Jimlad]

gearbox fitted soon.... :)

[em_ar_two]

whats your gearbox like, finding a decent second hand gearbox is like finding a 13 year old virgin.

[ricomr2]

good condition.. got it from gtschris, only cost £150 plus £50 pallet delivery. Well cheap!!

Took me a while to find this one, just lucky I guess.

PS : this is jim, just realised was logged in as Rico... lol.

[JappyBeast]

Russ has done your bumper.
