E30 Zone

I have a descent low mile box (thanks Sskoda) that i am looking at fitting to my cabby but am thinking whilst its on the bench to get it properly overhauled as i plan on keeping my e30 forever.

Any recommendations on place that can do this?

cheers

bump”¦no one at all?”¦

It will be expensive mate, budget £60 per hour and costs of parts

Considering the boxes are plenty, it would be cheaper to buy one or maybe two good spares

Should be able to get a spare box for £30

If it's low mileage, just change the oil and fit it - it should then be fine for another 100,000 miles or so.

I cannot remember any reports of manual 'boxes giving serious trouble.

But replacing the selector shaft oil seal and re-newing the linkage bushes will be a lot easier with the 'box out of the car.

cheers for the comments chaps, I'm obliged.

i will do the seals and the drain etc”¦had already planned to do the clutch and release bearing whilst at it.

I've had 2 boxes fitted to mine now, both had knackered lay shaft bearings. Got a refurbished one now just for piece of mind. 3 boxes in a year! Not too pleased

Aza, my post was to hopefull avoid the very problems that you have mentioned. Who refurbed the box btw?

I have bought it refurbished from a zoner. It was done somewhere at silverstone apparently. It's piece of mind mate, cos like I said this is the third box now. If the motors a keeper it's worth it in my eyes
