1997 Corsa - Auto Gearbox

[tuftymog]

Hello Folks
Thank you for letting me join the Club.
The gearbox on my poor old 1997 Corsa 1.4 Hi-Torq Breeze (90k) is on it's way out. My local garage are quoting £1600 to replace but they didnt say if that was for a new or s/h unit. That sounds pretty steep to me. I'd be happy with a s/h gearbox but not for that kind of dosh! I'm sure Ed China from Wheeler Dealers could do it for a lot less
Take care
Mike

Second hand gearbox will be 200, fitting between 90-180, plus oil, and you may change the clutch while it's out

Say 500 all in as a top end quote, local garage may do it for 300-400

Anyone could do it it's what they charge if. You got an engine crane take the engine and box out in one it would be easier

Hello Coupe, Hello Diggerhole
I'm in London but would be willing to travel a bit to a good garage. I'll look up the guys at Protec.

Thank you, Digger - much appreciated.
I also came across these chaps in West Norwood (S London) - anyone used them before?
