Renault Gearbox Contribution

[LewBam]

Bought myself a 57 plate 197 R27 a week ago and it's started the 3rd gear crunch. This is obviously pretty worrying but I paid a decent price so a gearbox rebuild should take it up to about average price. Been quoted £600 and £650 for the repair on the syncro. Would be great to get RUK on the scene and get a contribution towards a brand new box but I feel it's unlikely at 65k miles. Any advice on getting it done or on what price I should be paying? The Renault contribution route seems best as it would be a brand new box with a warranty and Id have a courtesy car to drive in the time being. Definitely not willing to spend £3k on a new box with fitting though. Cheers

For a rebuild and fitted, you're looking at roughly 1.2K. Rule everything out first before you jump to assuming it's the box/Synchro tho.
