gearbox gone in 5th

[kickboxer]

so the noise in 5th gear got much worse today and after 100miles I now cannot drive it in 5th gear, rest of the gears are ok.

Has anyone had this problem repaired? or is it a new gearbox?

what sort of cost will I be looking at?

your best bet is to pop into your nearest gearbox repair shop and ask, but I doubt it will be cheap, might be better to hunt for another box, try cncfabs, Rick

The clutch is more beefy on the 3.0, so I'd of thought the gearbox could be slightly differant :nenau

When you select 5th, it snatches in and makes a terrible noise although there is still drive, it has aalways made more noise than any other gear but now something is certainly wrong.

Ahh I see, a similar thing happened with our Honda Jazz when you taken up drive in 3rd it would just grind and jump out, had to take it to the red line in 2nd then jump to 4th lol. Turned out to be the selectors ans synchros

I have no way of knowing, although I seem to remember a member saying they were the same, but who? Rick

think that will be the second lay shaft, as long as you do not use 5th it will last a while but there will be some mush in there that may not get trapped by the drain plug magnet, Rick

What's the best thing to do ? New box or repair ? Which is likely to be the lowest cost option ?

If you do go for a rebuild, make sure you use a respected rebuilder who have a good record.

 

[solarman216]

No good guessing get yourself off to a box repair shop and get a price then you can make an informed choice, Rick

 

[solarman216]

Another price this am £372 inc delivery and 1 month warranty, Rick

 

[solarman216]

And another £444 inc del & 3 months warranty, Rick

 

[solarman216]

Got three more, one is recon with 6 months warranty, but they want your old box £150 surcharge, Rick

Thanks for the info Rick, been away for a few days in Paris so now back to sort things out, will be making a call to the local transission specialists this moring to see how much they will be charging for a rebuild, and then will asses do I rebuild or replace, so maybe back to get some details from you.

If you do go for a rebuild, go with a company that has good reviews/feedback, I've heard of some poor quality rebuilds from some firms.

Well spoke to the local transmission shop, he said about £450 for the rebuild but could be more due to the fact I have been driving it for a while with a noisy 5th bear and could have done more damage than just the worn bearing. I thought that was not too bad until he told me it would the same cost again to take the geabox out and put it back in again.
So guess this one is going to cost me near £1000 by the time its all finished.

Yes all in 1k sounds about right, but could be more, Rick
