hey guys anyone know where in sydney i would get a new gearbox for my 05 manual swift

mine is stuffed and ive been told its cheaper to get a good second hand one then to fix mine

any help would be great

pm sent.
I have a few good second hand boxes out of new swifts fs.

any idea on how much it would be to get the diffs replaced or repaired

Ive got three or four new swift diffs out of boxes so for me to fit it into your box would cost $450 includeing the new diff.

whats the best way to find out if its the diff or the box or wheel bearings

i live in nsw and not sure who i can take it to

If the problem is the diff it will have constant symptoms in all gears and when coasting in neutral. If it is something else in the box then the symptoms will usually be in some gears but not all.

In the end it makes no difference if the problem is the diff or something else in the box, because the whole thing has to be stripped down and repaired or replaced anyway, so the box has to come out no matter what the problem is.

if its the box i would just buy a second hand box but not sure what to do if its the diff

it does it in any gear with or without the clutch engaged

The diff is part of the gearbox champ.

so i might be better to get a second hand box

Sounds like all you want the cheapest alternative. Buy a second hand box and inherit somebody elses problems. Remember youll pay to have it fitted... see daves quote for labour as a guide...

yesi would prefure the cheapest way to get the car back on the road

i dont want to take it to someone and say its one thing then work out its something different

got a price today for a second hand gearbox drive in drive out $around 1400 plus a clutch kit from Suzifour Wreckers Dunheved NSW just wondering is that a good price they have some low k's boxes with around 20000-35000 on them

There is one on Egay now. Cheap. $450 from memory.

No wait, I lied!
Its more like $650 and its a Auto box.
Sorry, I Should know better and keep it to myself!

thanks anyway

can anyone tell me for the gearbox to come out of a 05 swift do you have to remove the engine or can it be done without taking out the engine

im looking at getting my gearbox replaced and the work shop said they have to drop the box and motor

to drop the old one and install a new one they want $850 just in labour does this sound right

$850 to drop and re-fit sounds about right.....any more costs?

Sencond hand gearbox $650
Machine the flt wheel $55
Clutch kit around $450
Labour $850

Dude that is RIDICULOUSLY expensive. I thought the $850 INCLUDED the box.

I've got a box you can have for $250. I'll bring it to you THIS weekend - or at least I'll bring it to Sydney. $270 to your door (and yes it's from a 1.5L manual.)

How many k's on the box

Can anyone recommend someone in sydney to do the fitting
