[low_vn_v8]

Was wondering if anyone has had there gearbox rebuilt to see how much it has costed and what they had done cause i have seen a rebuilt manual for $950 the gears and syncros are good new bearings and seals want to see if this is a normal price or someone who works in the rebuilding buisness and only getting money back for parts thanks heaps.

That price sounds about right for parts. A whole set of Synchro's cost me $200 (or so) and it was $850 for a brand new gearset

It depends where you go. I got told it is cheaper to do a changeover, which was going to cost me $2000, and they keep my old box.

Doing it yourself (or through mates) is heaps cheaper, if you know the right people.

got quoted 750 - 800 today from diff lapping today i got a few prices from wreckers and they said 1100 but not knowing klms travelled and what condition they were in so i think i am going to go with diff lapping then i can get a diff service while it is there not knowing when it was done last it is sort of something you sort of forget to check lol i am a big colprate for that excuse the typing had a memory blank on spelling lol.

cheers for your info most appreciated

yea guessing its a t5 trans, you should be able to get it rebuilt for around a gran. dont bother with exchange unless you need the box urgently as they are more expensive
