Well, I finally got round to putting in my new gearbox today (many thanks to Julian who sold me it!).
Things went reasonably straight forward. I have come to realise that I need to invest in a set of imperial spanners. Oddly enough though there is a mix of metric & imperial in use on my car (thanks to some previous owners).
Now I have 4 fully functioning gears! Box is much smother than my old one was too.
Was too busy getting the box installed to take a lot of pictures but here are a couple of highlights.
Box out ready for the new one to go in.
Poor condition of the locating slots of the old box
Replacement box- much better condition
