I used Competition Transmission Services, can be bit slow in turnaround if they are busy but they do a good job never had a problem with the service or workmanship based in Hertfordshire;

If you don't get anything sorted I'll ask my brother who he uses, he runs a garage in Poole

Mark at MJF Engineering in Beare Green nr Dorking can do a good job on those, too...but you should give him a call.

Hi guys,

thanks for the input, Kent transmissions seem to be the way to go. 350 quid to rebuild with uprated bearings etc which seams a good idea as it is going back in the track car
