So my 5th gear went pop this morning. Going around a bend and suddenly lost all drive with a grinding/crunching noise. Shifted straight down to 4th and away I went. Bugger #*#!

Anyway mine is a '01 TD42t with about 220k km on the clock.

Rang a few places and waiting on some quotes for a repair.

Fluidrive (transmission shop) here quoted about $2k for rebuild with new bearings seals and shaft/gear.

Or

$2700 drive in/out with brand new genuine upgraded gearbox.

I have found a 2nd hand gearbox for $550 ('03 GU 130k km) no warranty on ebay.

Most others I've seen at wreckers are around $800-$1300 and unknown history's but 3 months warranty.

The second hand ones I need to add labour costs or my own time and patience, sweat and blood.

I'm starting to think the brand new one might not be too bad value.

Anyone else had theirs repaired or replaced recently?
