Hello all,
Have been a VR-4 owner/fan (never met an owner that isn't) for about a year but it's all coming to an end...
...To cut a long story short, I was selling the car anyway as I've now got a company car (Not a VR-4 sadly) and couldn't afford both, but to keep the Mitsy ticking over properly, I've been taking her out at least once a week. Problem is, I took her out last week and I've lost third/fourth/fifth gear from the gearbox and haven't a clue as to what to do.
As I see it I have a few options but I'm after advice as to what's the best option.
Mitsubishi have quoted £6853 for a new box...hmmm.
I've only found one place (recommended by Extreme) called AGS is Cannock that are willing to strip it down to have a look for me, problem is if it needs parts, he says he can't do it.
Given I've found out about the rarity of spares the hard way, I could just break her for spares, depending on what the demand for VR-4 bits is like. (Had the AYC pump changed about 500 miles ago so there's plenty of new bits on her).
Any pearls of wisdom (or generous donations around £6,000) as to what I could do are welcome.
