Who to get a gearbox reconditioned with

[Jezza-7]

My two local gearbox rebuilders just quoted me £530 and £560 plus the vat. Is it me or does that sound very expensive?

I have herd mixed reviews of JPRace but when they quote £250 i think i might as well get them to do it.

What do you think?

did they give any details of exactly what they do for that much money? It sounds a hell of a lot.

Any other places in your local area?  Where abouts are you anyway?

Im in bridgwater or somerset.

TSR said £500. They said it includes all bearings and seals and new bolts etc.

hmm sounds rather a lot.  JP can't possibly replace all the bearings for £250 though, the parts alone would come to almost that I'm sure.  Unless they use some very cheap bits.  I know Andy was less than impressed with his JP rebuilt box, it didn't last long at all before it started rattling.

a had a cup box rebuilt by JP with an added quaife diff..
car has since been used with my spirited driving track days and drag strips..
no complaints so far two years later .

but ive also never had a gearbox built by anyone else..
