Ok so here's the report, bear in mind I'm not too technically minded but he said the reason it's not selecting is because the syncro hub is worn and undersized hence not selecting also something like the input gear needs replacing also and that he will give me a new 2nd and third gear and basically fix the lot but as he quoted me 500 that's what he's going to charge me due to my misfortune with this but that's even leaving him out of pocket.
So it'll be basically a brand new box, Chris what you gonna give me to ccompensate but 200 imo is too little bearing in mind it's cost me 80 in fuel just dropping it to Pete without picking it up from my mates garage 30miles away, plus oils and fitting 150 I'm down over 200 already without the repairs... I just can't afford it.
