Hi everyone
We have lost 2nd gear on our 1997 2.8 tdx fourtrak. Presuming we need a new/recon/repair to our gearbox, can anyone advise the best place to purchase a gearbox for our car?
I have looked on ebay but gearboxes are few and far between and also theres no guarantee the gearbox from a scrap car is any good so I would rather buy a reconditioned one.
other option is to take the car to someone who can take the gearbox off and recon it for us.
any advise?
what sort of prices are we looking at for the various options?
sorry almost forgot to say we are located in Swansea but also have family in birmingham so getting the car to brum may be an option.
many thanks
Birmingham has many good
Birmingham has many good suppliers of reconditioned equipment, particularly driveline and transmission components, so look on the internet.
I agree with the reconditioned gearbox as many may have worked hard and been abused, a warranty is always beneficial.
is there any company in

I have been told that Longbridge gearbox centre are good and also a firm called Driver Transmissions in Highgate, will be giving them a ring later for estimated prices.
