    With regards to fitting input shaft bearings, how much would it cost in labour? Does anyone know where i can get it done as most garages dont touch gearboxes or does anyone here offer any service?

    I started a thread earlier called "Gearbox Gurus"

    ....That is all...





    I have no idea on the labour side of things sorry mate. Doing mine myself.

    I found the title you made up was very appropriate so i snatched it off you

    I know the bearing itself is cheap but the labour I havent got a clue as its only specialists that touch gearboxes

    If it's a VTR box I'd just look for a replacement or buy a refurbed unit to be honest.

    You'd be looking at around £350 in parts and labour to get a box rebuilt anyway. Refurbed boxes are usually cheaper.

    I wouldnt want to look at second hand boxes as ive just been done by a member on here, and the only problem with my box is the ISB. Plus where do i go to get a refurbed vtr box at a good price?
