Some gearbox faults can not be repaired due to the extent of the damage or a lack of available parts from the manufacturer.

A new gearbox from the manufacturer will start anywhere from £1000 upwards, however will more than likely range between £2000-£5000. The other issue with a new gearbox is availability, some can take months to arrive as it is not something that will be sitting on the shelf at your local dealership.

What are a worn synchromesh symptoms?

Worn synchromesh rings will result in a crunching / grinding sound when selecting gears.
