its dependant on where you go on price.. and they would sort the bearings/oil out, as well as removing the box and popping it back in!

Ohhh alright mate. Think i mis understood. Will the car be okay to drive still providing i dont boot it and skip 3rd gear out? Wnt have the money until the end of the month.

er ye it is actually.. there is a thread on VXRo if you haven't got a haynes manual floating around. only difficult bit is taking the batter out to get access to the top of the gearbox to put the oil back in!

Im running comma 75-90 box oil cause at the time, that was what was recommended for cars with a LSD.. 75-80 for standard diff cars and for 5 litres it cost me £40 or so iirc?

No i dont have a haynes. Just had a look on vxro, think i could manage doing that every year. And £40 aint bad at all in the the long run. Thanks for your help guys!

The F23 in my old GSi the syncro went on 3rd gear, it crunched going into 3rd from just normal driving. I had it fixed but then it jumped out of 3rd when I released the clutch and it had to be redone so I'd say its a syncro issue

Alright mate, im giving a few places a call tomorrow to see what they say. Just hope its all fixed in time for pvs. Can imagine it being quite pricey.

 

[Matt_GSi]

If I remember right it cost just over £600 so be prepared!

 

[Fawcett212]

Well just called halifax gearboxes and its booked in for a week on friday. He seemed to know what he was talking about and knew exactly whatmy problem i and gave me what i deem as a good price however may cost more if under invest he finds more damage. Will keep you posted. Thanks or the help guys (Y)

 

[MJ05LLY]

What did he think was wrong?

 

[Fawcett212]

Possibly a new third gear and third and fourth syncro os what i got told. However, there maybe more damage so he's gunna investigate whennits there. Booked in for this friday now. Got a price of £85 for the syncro's, £85 for third gear and £135 to split the box which isnt as bad as i expected. Just depends if there is more damage as i have to drive it another 100miles yet.

 

[Matt_GSi]

Try to avoid 3rd gear if possible its what I did until I could get it booked in and go steady

 

[Fawcett212]

Yeah, thats what i've been doing and will be doing. Car wont be ised now until friday though so hopefully wont get worse.
