bill 0 Posted March 18, 2008 as title please guys, whats the rough costs of getting a gearbox fitted to a 205mi16, it has a 1.6 box in now and i will probably replace it with the same unless anyone has any better suggestions? but i would like to know what the costs are of replacing a gearbox on an mi16 205, is it a hard job, how long in labour etc? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keith 0 Posted March 19, 2008 If your getting it done in a garage, well. according to autodata its apparently a 4.5 hour job, so @ £40 (minimum) p/h that's £180 with you supplying all the parts. Personally its a complete rip off. If your planning on doing it yourself (recommended) there's an excellent guide on the main site here Its not a hard job, would budget a few hours for it but depends how capable you are with a spanner. Other than that there are plenty of forum members that are offering their services, so look around. keith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bill 0 Posted March 20, 2008 (edited) thanks guys, reason i asked is a mate of mine is selling his 200bhp mi16 205, but the gearbox is all over the place when you drive it so i just wanted to know what it would cost to sort, looks like i'll be taking it off his hands now Edited March 20, 2008 by bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AdamVester 0 Posted March 22, 2008 cant really go wrong with changing the box yourself mate i tryed it after about 2 weeks of having my pug (with engine out) later done it with engine in aswlel when i new a bit more.. when i say i new nothing i mean it i didnt even no what the gearbox was :S lol.. but yeah unbolt and bolt backon pritty simple. it can be a fiddle though to get the box out from under the car id get some help with it and a few jacks.
