I have a low km 1.4 16v. I got it at auction cheap, knowing it had gearbox issues. It had been sitting in a shed for years and thus only has about 60000km on it. Pulled the gearbox apart expecting the rivet issue. Rivets are fine....but one of the tapered roller bearings has completely disappeared....well, not disappeared, but is now little bits and pieces in the box. Its destroyed both synchro hubs and at least one of the other main gears.
Im thinking it is probably not economical to repair, and I should just look for a secondhand box, but thought I would see if anyone here can help. Id be interested in any information on:
SOurce/prices for reconditioned box
SOurce price for second hand box
Source of internal parts...not just bearings and seals...I see those all over ebay, but the gear clusters themsleves. Ive added some photos for your amusement
