I'm part way though the process of removing my gearbox to replace what I thought was a noisy clutch release bearing. I've got the floor and seat box out and have just completed the step "drain the gearbox oil". The transfer box oil looked a bit old but fine, the gearbox oil had rather a lot of metal in it ![Slightly frowning face :slight_frown: 🙁](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png)
These are the larger bits, there was also a lot of glitter and the oil had a Goldy sheen to it.
Is there anything I could know that's useful from the shape of these pieces? How difficult is a rebuild? Is a recon gearbox affordable? Is there a 5 speed option I should consider?
