They're great, friendly, ship quickly, and well priced. I imagine there must be somewhere like that near you? So far, I've not had any trouble finding the right part. Except for the little plastic gizmo. I don't recall what it was called but what would happen is the gearbox would 'stick' in gear, usually 1st or second, or else the gearbox would just go completely sloppy, as if it had lost all gearing. I had to take it back to the shop about 4 times before they finally found this little round piece of plastic about the size of a five cent piece.The first few times I think it had 'popped off' wherever it was meant to come from; the last time, it actually broke. I think it's from the very centre of the transmission, if that helps? Hopefully someone more mechanically minded than me might have a clue what I'm talking about! All the best, Cathryn.
