So the gearbox locked up in 3rd the other day.. got a free tow to newcastle gearbox and diff. i dropped in today to investigate.. the list of problems was very disappointing...and long :/

was quoted $363 all up if i supply the box and clutch.
an extra $1300 if i need them to get me a referb box
an extra $600 if i need a new clutch and flywheel blah blah blah..

orrrrrrrr alternatively, i ring loon (derrr)
$650 for referb box
$350 for new clutch kit
$66 for freight

so all up its gonna set me back another $1500 but its much better than $2500. i wouldnt be as pissed off with it if i was still working.. altho i have an interview tomorrow...

so the rego,slips,insurance,repairs,parts over the past 2 months should be close to $3000 after tomorrow.....saving-go-bye-bye :'(

the engine should be next to go.. lol
