In that case yes, it will need a gearbox specialist, but chances are they will insist on a full refurb rather than just a repair.

Well if you're able to invest in it then Mackie's in Glasgow is the forum favourite, but its a £3K+ job which is probably a bit of an unpleasant shock after just 2 weeks. It does come with a warranty though, and will add value to the car (not that that matters if you're keeping it).
I will say that from personal experience of a fair number of 'rebuilt' gearboxes from various places around the country, Mackies and Chester autos are the only places I would trust with this job. The alternative is to wait for a good used unit to come up but thats fairly unpredictable or course, and that too would fail eventually. |

Yours will be code FBG. |
