golf 1990 gearbox
hi everyone,
really very in this group, i was hoping to get some advise...and help!
problem: Was driving nicely when the gearbox got jammed in 3rd gear....impossible to go to 4th, 2nd or neutral. Clutch seems ok after a first NRMA
quick look at it during towing...
Tried to force it into neutral while engine off, with and without clutch...that hapened once and was able to desengage it no issue since then
took the car to the garage....which obviously declared the gear box gone (as you do) without inspecting it (told them not to put it down as it would
cost a fortune in labor)
so I guess the question would be....has anyone experience that before and what was the damage....the price being quoted for a secondhand one is way
beyond by budget....I am looking at buying a second hand one from wreckage etc...Anyone knows about 1 Golf 1990 cabriolet 's GEARBOX?
and also any good small trustworthy garage in sydney to do the job???
Thanks heaps for you help in advance... |
