thanks

Re: Gearbox
Id rather have a good condition second hand box, ive had 2 and they have never been a problem.
Recons are ok, but id prefer an unopened box.

Re: Gearbox
IMOH - plain 2nd hand gearboxes are a bit of a lottery - you could end up with something that's been looked after well .... or not.
Personally, I'd pick up a normal second hand box- f its got no history I'd consider taking it to a gearbox specalist and getting them to take a look. To check it over should be farly cheap - what is (much) more expensive is getting replacement gears and syncros ...

ok thanks,
its not just the gears that have worn out tho!its a bit of a disaster because the diff has actually shot through the gearbox casing!
