New gearbox?

[lewisniven]

How much am I looking at for a new gearbox as I think mine has completely shat itself now. 5th wont engage properly and jumps out when I lift off, and 1st is being a real pain, its hard to get it to go in properly.

Serious money?

It's surely the labour charges you want to be worried about unless your doing it yourself?

Don't have any experience with buying 172 boxes, sorry

 

[duncansharp]

The main problem might be getting hold of one, as the 172 cup gearboxes are different to the other 172/182s due to speedo driven off gearbox not rear abs. (AFAIK)

Few come up on ebay though, and try renault breakers

 

[lewisniven]

wudnt know where to start with regards to doing it myself, is it easy? my bro works in a garage and i cold probably get it done on the cheap tho.

serious labour charages?

Once you get the subframe off its really plain sailing, you could do it in about 7 hours.
The hardest part is keeping the release bearing in whilst trying to attach the box back to the block.

[MillerLight]

to fit a reconed box on my astra G was £1100 sure a ren box will be more (that is fitted tho) i'd trade the car in.

renault exchange box is 650 quid

 

[lewisniven]

righto, so realistically im looking at about 2k to get it all sorted.

this is all i need right now.

 

[S22 JGS]

having mine rebuilt at the moment, and new clutch.
certainly aint cheap.

Give gdi a buzz mate, it is a big job to do coz its engine out but they done one for me a while back and it weren't anywhere near the 2k mark, all in all i think it was around the 1k mark. they no a good gearbox rebuild company too which there quite friendly with!

 

[Fred@BTM]

engine stays in

 

[lewisniven]

it does?

tell me more mr yoz, presumably thats cheaper then??

 

[lewisniven]

ok, just buzzed GDI, what helpful chaps, seems like it wont be as harsh on my wallet as first thought.

7 hours labour depends where you go say £50 an hour at a garage any good place who specialise in clutch will know what to do as you've got to near enough get the box off to do the clutch.

Then a new clutch £80 and some good new fluid £50 then a new box can be got for £440 I think cheaper for second hand

Total cost under £1k.
