Rob_GTi Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 My trusty GTi has a problem - the day after putting it on ebay the gearbox has thrown a wobbler so it's come off there for now. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and reverse gears are fine, but 5th has decided to be an absolute pig to select. It will eventually go into 5th after lots of grinding, and when it's in, it stays in and drives perfectly. I'm told the 'synchro' has gone. Can anybody tell me how much I should expect to pay to have the box repaired? Even better if somebody in or around the Chester area fancies giving me a price to get it done locally. I'm OK with bodywork, electrics and general maintenance but I have no engine knowledge at all. The other option is to sell the car as-seen, but I suspect that the price I will get will be dreadful due to this problem.If anybody fancies a browse it's ebay item number 110648822309
Danzetec Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Theres plenty of escorts being broken atm, so it would be cheaper to replace the whole gearbox
