Whats it made of, Gold!!??

£50 will get you a 'box, or £100 for a sport box

Thats a lot of labour, any good with tools yourself?? Not a massively hard job! :D

I have 2 gearboxes here, both rattle in Neutral iirc (as they all seam to!), are fine through the gears. One is yours if you pick it up. Fitting it isn't that difficult lol

free! you can have it

TBH They all rattle to a certain extent, some have spent hundreds on trying to get them not to rattle to no avail lol

I no longer have an M20 so hence no use to me, just want the space.
