Gearboxes can be cheap prociding you find a clueless scrap dealer, got a new 5 speed box for my 88 900i for £30, from a G reg with 28,000 miles which had been smashed from the side and written off. Cost me £60 for my local Saab dealer to fit it .bargain. Still a sweet car, good in town, nippy for such a large car. johnw <jwebsnopsam.net> wrote in message news:37F360CB.5DBEnopsam.net... > johnw wrote: > > > > > All in all I think I got a good deal.
