Howdy all,
1st gear in my Navara 5spd box has gone on a permanent holiday. Apparently its common to strip the teeth off 1st gear. It 'fell' out of gear on 2 occasions with a bang and that was the end of it. Anyway the car runs fine and I am driving it with the remaining gears.
I am in Perth and quotes to repair the box (remove, strip & rebuild & reinstall) are ~ $3200 plus another $800 for a new clutch (why wouldnt you). Does that sound right?. Any suggestions on where to get it done?. S/H boxes are ~ $1600 and u could easy buy more problems.
Basically I am trying to work out whether the keep the old girl and 'invest' in the rebuild or say 'Adios'.. Its too big a job for me. The car has very ordinary paint but does have a bullbar, LED spots, roof cage, awning, canopy, dual battery system new turbo pipes and glow plugs, oil leaks fixed ....so what should I list it for?. Honestly I am a bit disappointed with it and think I should start again. Comments and suggestions welcome
