Been up to gearbox specialists, either one of the bearings has gone so the box will need to be fixed/reconditioned at a cost of circa best case scenario if just bearings/gaskets/oil £600... Recon box looking at £1500 all in. As advised will best I recondition Exisitng one. Been told not to drive far and no high revs. This all sound sensible/responsible???

The gearbox went on mine not too long ago but fortunately picked up another gearbox on ebay for under 300 from a GTI GVT coded box I don't think it's 100% but for the money I did not complain, I still have my old broken box which I will get rebuilt and if possible to have it reinforced encase the one I have now breaks in the near future  :laugh:

Gluck!

Ok car going in tomorrow should take a week to repair/recon gearbox bearings apparently. Hopefully it can be repaired if bot its a new recon box!!! It's recently had dmf/clutch/cencentric but as its going to be all out anything I need to replace rather than having to pull it all out again??
