mumble_bee Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 2 things... 1st you should consider buying an engine and tranny together as scrappies seem to prefer that. - obv you should look across the tdi range and across the shalaxybra models 2nd have you tried findapart - there are a couple of those type of scrappy brokers who send your requirement to millions of scrappies (lol ok maybe hundreds) and then the scrappy will call you... Good luck Quote

Good luckfound out the problem it's not the tranny its the drivers driveshaft. Took tranny to a gearbox specialist with the drivershaft(thats what he asked for) and he told me its not the gearbox but the drive shaft and he showed me that he could move the two parts of the shaft seperately and said that it should not do that. So thats the problem found out and is being rectified on monday along with a new clutch to save changing the clutch at a later date. price for a new shaft including the dredded call it £85 with surcharge. Thanks to all who looked at the post and to Those who replied.Gaz Edited March 9, 2013 by gazmech Quote
