i paid about £900 to have my box rebuilt and refitted (the clutch wasn't renewed). cheapest way to do it would probably be to find a good s/h box (risky) and have that fitted by someone whose labour rate isn't enormous.

On my previous 1.2 16v i had my box recond and refitted with a new clutch for £800 at a gearbox/ clutch place. I know its not a 1*2 but gives an indication maybe.
