Hi, > > After a 'light' collision and costly repair now the gear gave up. gave up? what do you mean? cant you engage any gear or what is going on? > Coincidence or normal at 195.000 km's. Anyone an idea how much a second hand gearbox is less likely to give up on under 200.000km in a non-turbo, but it is possible. > 5-gear may cost and more importantly how many hours it will take the average > garagist to take out and replace the old gear by a new/2nd hand > one...?????? i am sorry, but it will take pretty long and the replacement gearbox will not be very cheap either. i can imagine you are in a bad position now, as i am in a similar one with my 9000T, but i know that will fix my gearbox, as it is cheaper than another (read : not new) car for me. not that i want to say non-turbo NG900s are not worth saving, but well. you make the call bye simon
