gearbox rebuilt,costs/other options?

[bill.]

just found out my gearbox is ****ed, i been advised to send it off to somewhere called stevensons in preston and let him rebuild it, think i may have been there before, not to sure, so, i'd like to know what other options i have in this situation, other gearboxes that will fit, and take more punishment, and generally make the car perform better/quicker, or do i just get the williams one rebuilt and wait for it to go bang again

any idea how much a rebuilt box would cost?

cheers

had mine rebuilt somewhere in the midlands by the previous owner, it cost circa £350 i think and its mint and going strong!

[bill.]

was thinking somewhere in the region of £350-£450, then theres fitting, i can see this turning into another eight hundred quider

if its a williams box have it rebuilt by a specialist. they can iron out the weak points upgrade the circlip. cxan have them shot peened polished. wiull be good for another 100,000 miles.

i recommend bernie at CPS.

he will arrange collection delivery etc can offer casing polishing all sorts. he did mine with a gripper lsd rebuild polish shot peened polished casing etc for 1200 quid. its such a nice drive.

sounds like a good place maxiboy, but a bit too expensive for me, well what i mean by that, is that i'm trying to get mine done as cheap as poss, not opting for an lsd, but still a good job, and a bit more local if poss, cheers for the advice though :D

his standard rebuild rate is 90 quid plus parts think i payed 25 quid for collection from wales.
