Arosa gearbox options??

[gaztop]

hiya folks , recently became the proud owner of a 98 Arosa 1.7sdi with 125,000 on the ticker but drives fine , i can even fit my 8foot surfboard inside!! the only issue i have is the gearbox which appears on its last legs, once warmed up fifth becomes increasing difficult to find. So do any of you nice knowledgeable peeps out there know what cars i could use as a suitable doner ? could i for example fit a box from a polo as arosa's are hard to come by in the scrappers down here... any help n advice much appreciated... G

Have you tried changing the gearbox oil?

Normally free's it up nicely

I can see sealant around the box/bellhousing joint so i guess someone has attempted to repair it at some point.... unsuccessfully.
theres also a slick50 sticker on it. I think its simply time for the trip to great gearbox in the sky. RIP
