Title: Gearbox work @ Bears....
Post by: ben_w on March 12, 2017, 11:17:05 AM
Guys,

I will hopefully in the nearish future be buying a 1500 gearbox for the buggy (i sold the AS box as i was fed up with tripping over it at the time and needed the cash, turned out to have a knackered third gear too....).

I've done my time of stripping and rebuild IMG boxes. This one i will want to throw at Bears once I've had it vapour blasted clean,  for them to flip the diff and set the backlash properly, along with getting it sealed up properly etc.

Anyone know what kind of costs I'd be looking at?

Thanks

They just did the jas 1600 box straight rebuild to original spec £500
New selectors, synchros and bearings etc.

That's a good price considering what a secondhand box costs nowadays

straight rebuild to original spec £500  Is a good price I can only see the price going up as the £$£$ is so bad,
