Have a look in the FAQ, too. There's a list of gearbox refurbers.

Cheers guys 
Re: Gearbox reconditioned
The receipt i have is for a gearbox rebuild at: A1 Premier Transmissions LTD on 96932. Ive just bought my C5. The car is now on 107238.
Are they any good? Or just a standard decent job? Anyone know about them?
How long before a gearbox service? 20k after job?
Ive been quoted 400 for a service but i haven't looked into it. How much do MRC charge? (Yes, i could just ring them but im thinking out loud....)
Thanks much appreciated, and so is my mum.

Re: Gearbox reconditioned
Stupid question as you've said you have the engine out but is that cost if you deliver the gear box to them then fit it back yourself ?
Re: Gearbox reconditioned
If I remember right, Chesters handle collection & delivery. Cranleigh Freight Services, in my case. Ya just gotta have it strapped to a palette for them to collect...

140kgs of heavy, that is! I needed a engine hoist to move it around myself.
