Gearbox topics should be banned in the C5 forum, a bit like the c word is in the B7 forum.

But then we wouldn't talk, well we would, be just the normal b0ll0cks only though.
Are you saying there are a lot of the ''c'' words in the B7 forum?

There has to be a good few hours in rebuilding a gearbox. I don't like being ripped off, but at £1500 I can't see that being very profitable so where are the corners being cut. For me the sums don't add up.

I would say 8 hours MAX for strip and rebuild, then you have the price of the parts which could be anything.

I'm doing re con box's for £3500 inc vat fitted ..

We will need the car for 1 week and will provide a loan car foc ..

That the best you can do Grizz? Im getting mine rebuilt by a local company here in Northern Ireland for £1900 + VAT. I had considered yourselves but i'm afraid you're very overpriced, even though you do get great reviews

Removal and refit for that inc rebuilding a gearbox ....



I think they've never done one .... Good luck with that one .

[madi]

what exactly does a gearbox rebuild actually involve?

[Shoppinit]

How long is a piece of string?

Depends who's doing it and what they feel like doing that day.

Bit like reconditioned engines. That's why I would only have peace of mind with a ZF / Audi re-manufactured box.

/FYI reconditioning is not the same as re-manufacturing.

There you go, at 1.43 your selector switch loom is dead!
Good video though. I would even say it is worth putting in the 'sticky' section or Footers tech area.

Wow, look at that tip. That's exactly why I would only get a factory remanufactured box - so I don't find Bob-the-Grease-Monkey's lunch wrappers in my D clutch.

What's better then?

Remanufactured or reconditioned?

This.

ZF UK will swap you a broken box for a re-manufactured box plus £2400 their way.

[Shoppinit]

Remanufacturing implies a complete rebuild at the component level to the same condition as when the box was new. The term is known under the law.

Reconditioned is *not* a legal term and if you give it just a lick of paint you can claim it is reconditioned with impunity.

[swannny]

Ah I see.

Who says you can't teach old dogs new stuff.

Thanks Shop.

My tranny has just gone out on my rs6 but thankfully my extended warranty is covering a remanufactured Audi tranny and torque converter. Any chance Audi improved the remanufactured trannies like they did the torque converters.

FON and welcome along Ninja.

Has your car ever had a gearbox oil change?
How did Audi improve the verter?
Is your car standard?
