Title: what to do with my gearbox?
Post by: garry on 14 December 2008, 15:47:23

hi folks,
way back in christmas last year, the gearbox in my 2.6 V6 Automatic seemed to stop working (no drive), i got a replacement gearbox, got it fitted, and...... still no drive. could have been an electrical problem?

anyway, i never got round to fixing the car, but some bloke who needed parts gave me a decent offer for the non-runner.

I now have a (presumably working) gearbox & torque convertor in my garage - i was looking for advice, could i sell it? is it worth anything? how about scrap value?

dont want to sell it and it doesnt work for the buyer!

it cost me about £150 for the one from the breakers, could i get £50 for mine?

 :) merry christmas  :)

Possibly but you need 250 posts to put in the for sale section. Try Ebay ;)

Sadly, what Pete says......

Will lock, as its not really a tech prob type question for a complete vehicle.....
