Just thought on other gearboxes on eBay none have markers on there so made me think it might be a rebuild, or the breakers marking.2226 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 23, 2023 6:48 am Green marker probably just anti-tamper markings.
I'm sure they'll check the lever, just ask them to confirm. They have to deal with it anyway when refitting the linkages. Doubt it'll make a difference though.
Who is fitting the gearbox?
If it was a trusted knowledgable mechanic I would have them check and maybe refresh the rear main seal since the gearbox is out anyway.
Most garages I find can't even do simple things, hard to find a trusted mechanic who can check the lever and rear main/crankshaft seal. Too bad my bank account probably can't fund the seal. Only been working 2 months lol so still in the process of saving
But it has to be very local mechanic as my car won't drive at all and I usually take my car 40 minutes away to a VW specialist I do trust.
Just going to phone up a few '3rd party certified' garages today and ask them.
