I don't like paying people to do something I could do myself :lol:

With the money you save you can buy more tools :armsup:

Took my old gearbox to gloucester road gearboxs yesterday to have it rebuilt, because the one i have in at the moment is sounding pretty rough.
The called me this afternoon to say 5th gear has annihilated itself and it going to cost £550 to rebuild :shock: . Needless to say i told them not to bother and went round to pick up the remains of my gearbox

So im on the look out for another gearbox now

Not good, Sure someone nearby will have a spare. Unfortunately there always a gamble.

Is it not possible to have your existing gearbox refurbished? Park your SJ up for a week or two?

It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out
