Gearbox repair /replacement
Posted: Fri Mar 08, 2024 5:22 pm
Afternoon everyone can anyone offer any help regarding gearbox repair or replacement please. The car is a Morris 1000 with a 1098 engine and standard 4 speed gearbox . Can anyone offer advice on helping me find someone in the Wiltshire /Somerset area of the UK that can remove the gearbox and replace the offending item that is causing it to occasionally jump out of second gear. All other gears are fine and car drives ok .
The paperwork for the car shows the po had a recon gear box professionally fitted around 4 years ago. So wondering if the recon they used was perhaps not that good .
Need some help from either a well versed home mechanic who is willing to help (will bring car to them and pay) or suggestions off good mechanic who will not rip me off or have the car for months as it is my daily driver .
Also what are people's experiences on repairing the offending gear box compared to putting a reconditioned gearbox in as in how do costs add up and which is best for longevity.
Thankyou for any help
