Hi there Iam looking for a bit of advice on a gear box problem (I think its the problem anyway).
Basically Some times when I try and get the gear stick to go into first or reverse it just wont go in.Even when it does go into first it doesnt sound very healthy. Ive spoken to a dude at a garage and hes said he could take the box out and take it to a specillist place to have the gear box repaired, he seemed to think it was the same problem that affects lots of mitsi's,
Basically the guy said it would cost £250 for labour plus the cost of having the gear box repaired (around £150) as long as its the problem he thinks it is. Im wondering if anyone has had a simular problem and what they did about it ( been quoted £600 for a reconed box :bigcry: )
I was gonna have a new clutch put in at the same time as thats what ive been recommended to have done (bout £200 for the standard item) So I guess im looking at about £550-£600 all in all. Is this a good price, is the way im going about it right ? any advice would be apreciated.
