Hi all,

i have a 97 plate 1.6 sport

My gearbox is leaking oil badly, suspected cracked shell, i have looked round for a recon gearbox but looking at £450/£500, i have managed to get hold of a second hand 1 from a low milage A3 for £200.

I have had a couple of qoutes to have it fitted the lowest being £150, is this reasonable or should i attempt myself (is it a hard job to do) i have some experience with cars, just never attempted a gearbox before.

Also will any seals/gaskets need to be replaced when i swap the boxes over.

Any replys gratefull
