    Hi


    Anyone able to give me a rough idea of what I'm looking at to get a gearbox replaced/repaired on a 08 Vectra? It's scraping in 5th & 6th, seems to be a common enough problem on these cars



    If anyone has a recommendation for someone to do the work (north Mayo), I'd appreciate a PM


    Thanks

    Neil

    Getting a used one is nonsense. It won't be any better.

    Repair would be on area of 1k-1.5k. you'd want to change it hand DMF with the same job.

    Economically not justified.
