All guys, Firstly Happy Christmas to you all!
Now, lets get down to business
I have a Vectra 2.2 Direct Estate on a 57 plate, done 157K all is good, it even passed its MOT! However.....
The Gearbox is finely going (1st/2nd Gear whizzing and slipping around corners) to add to that its a 7 speed box too.
Obvs, its not worth more than £1200 so the question is
Do I replace the gearbox & clutch (local GearBox place says £2K + VAT!) ?
Or
Can this repaired or replace with reconditioned (I hear that there are so many variations, I'd have to get the gearbox off to find the exact model etc)
Or
Is it time to get rid?
Or
Is there any other (helpful) suggestions?
Help!!!!!!!!!!!
