If you are doing it yourself. Fron pan gasket £3.76 + vat
Rear pan gasket £5.10 + vat. Filter £21.01 + vat. All from JPat. Those were current prices in June.
the oil I bought was 5 litres Comma Dexron 3 £20.99 +vat, that was retail. And a litre of the same was £6.49 +vat.
Prices may vary slightly from shop to shop.

also cheaper if you clean the filter, if in good condition, rather than replace it. Vx want £68 iirc.
Wash out with carb cleaner.

For the sake of £30 and the effort gone to getting the sumps off, i would replace.  :y

As said, depends on condition. Mine was mint, no bits at all. If it had been a bit dirty would have changed it defo.

If the filter is blocked then the gearbox is stuffed or 99% of the way there so pointless continuing at that point!

As well as JPAT, Dave Kember from ABS sells the complete kit for £30 IIRC.
