The garage have inspected and detected and concluded that the main shaft in the auto gearbox has sheared. This means a new or new to me gearbox. "OK", I said, "How Much?" He was very kind, he warned me in advance so I could take a deep breath. "Two and a half thousand quid!!!!!!!!!!!!" After I had vaguely recovered, he suggested a rebuild might be more appropriate, cost wise. I agreed and went in search of my options.
I found a local transmission engineering company and they will do the whole job for seventeen hundred quid. A much better price but still leaves me resembling a stunned haddock. The major up side is that I get a twelve month guarantee and it should only take about four days to effect.
