Hi guys,
So driving up to Manchester from Bristol this afternoon and my 5th gear an almighty clunk and rattling grinding sound of metal crushing metal is no more.
4th is my new 5th. Anyone know a cost effective efficient way to rectify this. I know Ashcroft would probably be first choice.
Thanks

Been there, done that! Can recommend ashcroft. My gearbox died in similar fashion, ashcroft supplied new for old, being going strong for a year now.

Had a similar issue. Just get a recon box from Ashcroft. There prices are competitive.

Sounds like 5th gear sheered off the mainshaft. Get a recon I'd say. Again, I recommend Ashcrofts.

Has anyone heard of City Gearboxes in Coventry?
30% cheaper than Ashcroft for a G suffix Lt77.

I got mine off a guy in Birmingham was a lot cheaper and had it 3 years no problems he advertises on ebay or at least he did.

Who did you use to courier it out of interest?
Same guy has quoted me £60 to get it to Derbyshire.

I usually pay £35 when sending them out .
So if that includes collection of your old exchange box it isn't too bad.

Then he's having a giraffe.
£35 each way for TNT is what I do.
