Foofed gearbox??? :censored:

[snoop]

Was driving around town when i think i hit a hole in the road (a la sunken ironworks). there was a loud bang but everything seemed ok.

As i was driving, whenever the clutch pulled (like if your slowing down using gears) there would be like a rubbing noise from the clutch.

Managed to limp home and checked the car and there seemed to be fluid/oil leaking from the front just to the right of the engine bay.

any ideas? could i have damaged the gearbox? how much would this cost to fix?


Thanks all!!

deepest sympathies mate. i had a leak a while back, got it fixed but the damage had already been done and my gearbox decided to destroy 4th, 5th and the lay shaft. a replacement box and a £900 bill later and i've just discovered that the driveshaft seals have gone spewing oil everywhere.

if the casing on your box is damaged and yours is the same as the LCR casing then i've got one in perfect condition

well my cousin is a mechanic for Citygate VW in Colindale, so i'm taking to him tomorrow to see what the damage is...i may have to take you up on the cover...will let you know tomorrow if thats ok??

hopefully, will only be the drive shaft seals and not the entire gearbox. Best of luck mate. F@ckin roads!!!

If i have to replace the gearbox...how feasable would it be to put in a 6 speed one? is it possible??

 

[Jay20VT]

is it not 6 speed already?

oh sorry, my mistake! i thought you already had the 02M six speed box. that is what casing i have going spare.
