1993 Vitara JLX Automatic Gearbox Supplier Recommendations

Post by Wong » Tue Dec 17, 2013 12:46 pm

Hi
My Vitara has just turned 20 and needs some TLC. That includes a new or reconditioned gearbox. I have tried out the various quote services online and not had much luck. One supplier sounds promising but has TERRIBLE reviews and I'm worried. Can anyone please recommend someone? The fact it's automatic I'm after with torque converter is proving tough. Thanks for any help given!

Where abouts are you located?

Is it possible to get your existing box reconditioned?

Hi Jordi
Thank you for your reply! I really appreciate it.
Unfortunately it's in bad shape and we are currently overseas in Hong Kong. So I'm looking to get something shipped here.
