If you live in Dudley wouldn't it be easier to get to Bristol Transmissions? A well known company on the site with a fair few people having used them before.

I called in to see Planet Gears. I have a juddering TC he can do it 850 +VAT fitted but he also explained about checking the mechatronics over. he stated if worse case it needed gearbox and TC the bill would be 1850+VAT 3days turnaround.
Also spoke to Bristol Transmissions there prices are 1050+VAT for upgraded TC.
Not sure where to go yet its about trust. iiD Bluetooth Diagnostic Tool

I went to Bristol transmissions the guys did a clean job drives nice now. Downside my splines are worn on output shaft, the gearbox runs really well so gonna drive till it strips splines. i have priced up a new output shaft 195+vat and seal kit 110+vat and not too difficult to strip and install or was thinking planet gears as advertised on ebay £850 just need to swap out my mechatronic.
Anyone got any experience removing a gearbox themselves I have access to a 4 poster.
sigh the saga never ends................should have bought a Disco 2 iiD Bluetooth Diagnostic Tool
