new clutch, remove and refitting of gearbox.. and thats it.

Kyle, unfortunately thats how I got burnt before
. Most recently via an exchange agreement where I was supposed to get an EVO box just taken out of a working car and apart from the crunchy 3rd gear, was 'allegedly' working fine. But what I got in exchange was an EVO box that had black, burnt and putrid smelling oil with silver metallic shit right through it, 5th gear synchro keys installed 180 degrees backwards so the springs werent even holding them in!!, a damaged 5th gear and synchro, heavily burnt and pitted rear input shaft bearing, chipped teeth on the intermediate shaft (throwaway), completely rooted centre diff (the upper shim had disintegrated and heavily burnt and pitted all the internals, even worn the brass shims razor blade thin - complete throwaway), damaged shift rail, damaged 1st/2nd and 3rd/4th sliders, chipped teeth on a couple of gears, rooted 2nd gear and 3rd gear synchros and several burnt and pitted bearings that needed replacing. There was no way this box was working fine in the car before it was removed and sent to me for exchange. What I was doing as favours and helping people out ended up backfiring in my face. Now I dont buy a damaged gearbox unless I inspect it first or get it cheap enough to take the gamble :unsure:
