im getting a gearbox , clutch , thrust bearing and delivered for 170 quid . I dont think a rebuild will be any cheaper plus shipping it down .
Will a box of the 172 non cup fit as i can get hold of one of them even cheaper?

personally id rebuild as the boxes are getting old and failing quite a bit, last thing u want to do is replace the box with one that fails soon after or as i done on a DCi - replace the box with one thats already broken!!

because its a cup you need a gearbox with a speedo drive so needs to be another cup box or i *think* a ph1 172 box will fit but check that out before you buy

Cup or a phase 1 172 gearbox with speedo drive is what you need.
