Help my gearbox is dead!!!



  Clio 182
I've recently bought a Clio 182 and It turns out that the gearbox is knacered, it barely goes into first and local garage says it needs replacing :(

Is it worth getting someobody to rebuild it? We have a gearbox specialist in exeter close to my house so thought I may give them s shout but if its going to be more expensive and not actually worth it I may try and buy a decent 2nd hand gearbox off eBay or breakers.

Also do you know how many hours labour I should be looking at for whipping it out and putting a new 1?

Cheers

Yeah it's pretty much fine apart from first but there is a lot of play in the box and I mean a lot. It's done 95k as far as I know

I can't see anything for sale in the parts for sale section? I'm missing something? There is a few gearboxes for sale on eBay but they are 250/350 :(

where is the play? in the shifter set up itself or actually in the box?

when you go for 1st lift the collar as though you're going for reverse but don't move the shifter over enough to get reverse and see if you get 1st easier that way. i've have a few where the white bush is shot and they are a pain to get some gears, generally 1st and reverse.
