Technical Bravo Gearbox replacement

[Andy_sx]

Evening all

i would have put this in the Bravo section, but thought i might get a better response in here, but if the mods feel it will get a good response from the techies the please move it.

My 1.2 Bravos gearbox is going bye bye again (broken too many so far) and im fed up of paying through the nose for the gearbox and then the labour ontop, even from local scrappies. my thinking this time is to undertake the job myself to save some money and get a better feel for the car at the same time. im fairly competent with the old spanners and also have more mechanically minded friends that can help but want the challenge...

is there anything big to avoid / look for, i know the box is dying, and ive just had the clutch replaced (will there be annything i need to be doing particular with the clutch?)

all help will be appreciated, and if anyone sees a bravo 1.2 or a punto 1.2 8v gearbox for a good price thats in good nick id be interested, im in the south east but will travel in reason

Cheers
