neonovice Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I bought a td4 fl1 automatic with no reverse gear. I changed the gearbox for one off ebay which lasted 6 months before developing a major leak. I have replaced it again but now have a collection of ruined boxes. Is there anywhere that is likely to want them? I tried Ashcroft but there is no answer on the phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got offered £50 each from a well known gearbox re-manufacturer. It'll cost me £75 to send them though so.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacr2man Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 They are very simple gearboxes to fix (compared with both auto and manual boxes) , there is plenty of info on the net , and parts are relatively easy to find , most things that go wrong can even be fixed without taking them out of the vehicle, from under n/s wheel arch . No reverse tho they have to come out. Pity they get so expensive when the trade "process" them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
