thats quite alot
a reasonable price for a clutch fitted is £200
so a recon gearbox for £500 is fairly expensive

why not just buy a low mileage used one? can be had for less than £100 and you might surprised how long it will last you. I dont understand the fascination with people buying reconditioned parts all the time :S

you could buy another vtr for that lol just get a good used one off here for cheap

dont forget that price is fitted. A garage would easily charge £200 labour for the work so that puts the recon box at £300 ish.

As said its a fair price really.

I would just find a second hand box and fit a new clutch kit

We charge £100 + any parts required to refurb a gearbox :)

yeah 200 seems a decent price to remove and refit a clutch and gearbox. But that leaves £500 for the recon box hes on about.
where did you get £300 from?

I suppose they think its as good as new and would all be nice and tight. You could buy a low mileage gearbox but its had a hard life :(

£200 to remove a gear box and replace it? Well why the box is off you'd do the clutch for the sake of 10 minutes :S.

4 years ago i paid £200 for a clutch change which i thought was about right
200 without a new clutch included is a bit steep

I was breaking down your £500 including labour costs.

Id buy one of those rebuilt LSD equipped that were for sale on here for around the £500 mark then pay someone from here to fit it if you cant do it yourself. Sod a standard gearbox for that much cash!

700 for recon gearbox and new clutch kit and skimmed flywheel thats inc fitting and Vat....... Mr clutch was the place that done it.....

[LSOfreak]

jesus christ! you could have bought a vts engine and paid someone to fit it for that price mate
I always stay away from these rip off nationalised companies like mr clutch, kwikfit, national, hiq etc
