re: Valeo clutch & Gearbox replacement
Hi guys
Under the "if it looks to good to be true" heading..... long story short but seems this wee car needs a new (replacement) gearbox (sounds like a tram especially in first and second, and diagnosed by the garage as a fault in the 'box). Oil leak from the bell housing likely to be crankshaft seal, so all in same area. Can get a used box off eBay for £200 (72k and 1 month gtee).....thinking of having a go at this rather than putting her back to the garage. However this would be a step up for me compared to my usual level of DIY on cars, so been looking through threads on the forum/ you tube stuff to supplement my limited knowledge, and got a reasonable idea of what and how, but wondered if there was available somewhere a guide for this (1.4 16v, 6 speed), or would be hugely and eternally grateful for any comment on doing the job (think it's pretty much like doing the clutch with the extra bit of the crank seal?), particularly doing it on my drive....
Cheers.......
