The automatic gearbox in my UZZ31 has died and I had the car towed to a garage in Thornleigh. Do I get the gear box reconditioned or fit a second hand gearbox? I haven't had a quote yet to get it fixed.

Get the quote first and then make your decision, a second hand box probably $1000 or more.

I've driven it for 270,000kms, that could be part of the reason. It stated to feel like a slipping clutch last Friday and then going up a hill it stopped altogether and would not go in drive or reverse.

I sold it for $1000, so sorry I don;t have it anymore. But if I had you would be the first to have it. You haven't talked to Niall and see what he can do?

You sold a V8 automatic gearbox for $1000????

I sold my TT for only $500. Couldn't be that big a difference in gearboxes is there?!

It was in very decent condition as well, only did about 80,XXX KMs.
