What happens to your gearbox
Inspection:
It’s rarely possible to gauge much information regarding the internal condition of a gearbox form inspecting the external casing and operating the selector other than the presence of very major faults, so the purchase of a ‘condition unknown’ gearbox is fraught with the danger it being an unsatisfactory unit.
I can undertake a full or partial strip down of a gearbox and provide a written report together with a detailed cost estimate for rebuilding and an evaluation and valuation of the parts for insurance or other purposes.
Rebuild:
I aim to rebuild your gearbox to as close to original VW factory tolerances as possible and to that end i replace all of the consumable wear items, I.e. bearings, seals and bushes. I also replace all of the circlips as per the factory rebuild procedure and replace all of the synchro rings, gaskets and seals. All settings and backlash are measured meticulously and the box set up accordingly.
I supply a full written report and invoice detailing my findings, what work was carried out and a full itemised list of all parts replaced is supplied along with the warranty. All the parts that have been replaced are also returned to the customer.
