DazzaVR6 2 Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Basically my gearbox has gone and im in process of finding a replacement. What i need to know is how long is it going to take me to do the swap and how hard is this going to be without the use of a ramp? There's no way im paying my local garage 9 hours labour if i can do this myselfAny help would be greatly appreciatedCheersDaz Link to post Share on other sites

legvw 0 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Yep tonys written up a guide, and like he said, no real need for ramps. 9 hours is bloody steep! Or get tony to do it and feed him beer! :-) Link to post Share on other sites
DazzaVR6 2 Posted August 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 9 hours !!!!! who quoted u that .... i can change one in 2 hours or so ..... there is a guide in premium members that i wrote mate .... Its the cheapest i could get down here and there was alot worse. Having problems sourcing a box at the moment as have very little money and the cheapest down here again is 455 plus VAT for a reconditioned box. Really struggling for cash but also really stuck without my car! had to walk the 71/2 miles back home in the rain yestreday and was soaked through lol after walking for an hour and half.:-( Link to post Share on other sites

DazzaVR6 2 Posted August 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Somethings up with first gear mate. Basically you get a clicking noise when you pull away in first gear. all other gears are fine. Thinking maybe the syncro? Doesnt sound healthy though. Link to post Share on other sites
