Default 95 1.8 5 Speed Gearbox?

G'day,

My 95 1.8 Laser 5 speed is on the way out. The synchro in third is playing up.

How much would I need to pay to get a reco gearbox put in? I'm near Broadmeadows in Melbourne.

Can anyone help me?

Gearboxes are the weakest link in our cars. Don't expect the synchro replacement to be cheap. Call up Repco and ask for a price on the part, then ring around to get labour costs.

I got a quote on a whole second hand gearbox (done 98,000 kays) today for $300, plus $250 installation.

$550 all up, not bad, much better than many other quotes reaching up around $900-$1100.
