WTB - Gearbox

Hey Guys,

Gearbox is definitely on its last legs, need a manual box to suit a K11 Micra. Let me know what you guys got!

Pref Brisbane area but open to all ideas/offers at this stage.

Cheers,
Matt

bump - anyone? Really need one soon

bump?

is it bearing noise? or whats the problem?

bearing noise, and the gears themselves i think are badly worn.

Its bearing noise at idle, but in all the gears now its a loud grinding sound (like raw metal), I think the hard coating on the gears has warn off.

Its just started playing up when downshifting from 5th to 4th as well, I think the spring that centers it is broken or breaking. Car has done 320k to a fair bit :)

Car drives fine, but the down shifting issue has made me start hunting again.

Bump :)

Bump, really need one guys :P

anyone??

It's been over a week, I don't suppose you have tried a wrecker?

yeah, 2 locally, they want $450 for one, and $350 for the other, I'll grab the $350 if I have to, but they really aren't worth that, they have sold on here for $100 usually.

and just to make it fun, think i blew the selector for 4th gear now, when you select 4th it tries to put it into reverse lol

would a GA pulsar one be cheaper ? (you may need to swap the inner potjoints tho eh ?

yeah that was my other option, but to be honest, the thought of having to sort out custom drive shafts put me off. Interested to hear form anyone that has done it though, maybe its not that bigger deal to do

my guess is that the CG spiders would fit into the GA pots (just a big circlip to remove iirc), or else the GA spiders would slide onto the CG bare shaft ?

where is bris are you?
im going to a wrecker 2morro.. northside

live south, but work northside, the two wreckers I've check with are my normal haunts, but both on southside, if you see one, let me know! What wreckers you going to?

in Brendale, close to home, and then one near kingston if i have to go out that way..

I can't recall what's on the 2 Micras in the wreckers near me. ABC Oxley has 2 Micras in their yard. I THINK one is a CVT... maybe call them?

Also if you find a condensor fan in amongst the wrecker hunt please let me know what wreckers. I'm getting desperate for my aircon!

ABC Oxley are good, been there many times.

wreckers at Brendale has 2 manual micras (1 w/ power steering)
both gearboxes are still there. $150 if u remove it yourself.
Probably could talk em down to $100 if u were really keen.

I could probably remove it for ya, but it would cost you your old gb and a carton. Some cars are hard to get to, stacked 2/3 high :)

Mickeybbb, got an adress for that wreckers? I might go look and see if they have a condensor fan in one of those micras.

pretty sure it would be damaged if it is there..
the radiator looks like a piniata.. and the condensor was and had been on the ground for a while.

All Auto Recycling, South Pine Rd, Brendale.

Winner!, I'll have a chat to my mechanic, but might take you up on your offer ;)

Cheers,
Matt

Might have to take you up on that offer if your up for it :)
