The gearbox on my 1.4 16V is starting to make the loud grinding noise again for the 3rd time in under 2 years!! So i've decided to get the box overhauled this time with reinforced parts rather than getiing it refurbished. Does anyone know of any companies near Nottingham that overhaul gearboxes at a reasonable price?
Cheers.
Gearbox gone again!!!
Re: Gearbox gone again!!!
Took the gearbox to get refurb'd today, and the guy said the box is completely useless and should look into getting a fully reconditioned box. I have fount a few places that sell reconditioned boxes which have strengthened pinion bearings and differential so are longer lasting but want £650 including fitting!
My local gearbox garage did mention that the GTI gearbox is a direct fit onto the 1.4 16V engines, but just have slight changes in gear ratios that may not be noticeable. Could anyone confirm this for me or would it be pointless in getting a GTI box.
