I am up for doing a gearbox change. dont take long me and kevin had one out and in with in 4 hours 

What were you playing at?

Sassanach and I had one out, dismantled, investigated, and a replacement put in in 2 hours

But, then, I think he's done it before. Several times

And more recently, Sassanach and I had one out, new thrust washer fitted, and popped back in in about 90 mins.

I obviously wasn't clear. Sassanach was the hero, both times.  Last one I did took about 6hrs

I have a spare thrust washer kit here you can have, also if you want to bring the other miggy down for a ATF change at some other time just let me know.  I am in the wrkshop most weekends (except November)

That's very kind, I may well take you up on that, maybe in December? I've got the ATF, just waiting for the filter.

Don't need a new filter, the one you have is washable in petrol/white spirit .....

I've had the new gaskets for some time now, just need the ATF and a good area to do the job. cam/ATF meet would be fine

Thanks Nige, yes I had seen that, but at the price I am happy to renew it and keep the old one as a spare.

I'd certainly be interested in tagging along to this one again... Just need to compile a list of jobs to do on the car, which I'm sure won't take long...

[Gaffers]

Aye, all good here.  A stint out there makes you realise how lucky we are in life 

[Marie]
