Gearbox replacement on Vectra

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.

Novelty wears off pretty quickly. Maybe not so much in some classic car with a nice sounding engine but...
