Default Gearbox
Hi all, any suggestions for getting my 5th gear synchro sorted, I’ve called A&M gearboxes in Chelmsford, Essex as I saw a post that someone else had used them
and paid £250, I called and have been quoted £400 plus parts if I remove the box and deliver it or £850 plus parts if they carry out all the work. I’m near Gatwick.
