where is there a good place to get my rs turbo gearbox reconditioned in the kent area .

 

I can't help with where to use but can with where NOT to use.
Don't use the gearbox place in Erith, had major hassle with this place, they even snapped the aerial on my car whilst there but didn't say anything, just threw the aerial in the car, this was after a autobox repair that lasted 15 miles before losing all drive and needing a rebuild, they screwed me for a gearbox case that had a hole in it, and charged me for one they got from a mate Ł200, it was a piss easy fix by welding anyway.

i dont know about Kent, but i can recommend CTS in markyate in hertfordshire. (assuming they are still going). they know how to properly refurbish an RST box.

some places turn down the taper on the mainshaft, and then insert a sleeve over this that fits into the standard box bearing, this is bad as it means the shaft is only as strong as its cross section which has been reduced making it weaker than standard!

the correct way of doing this is to purchase a new shaft and machine the casing to accept a bigger bearing, this is around Ł600 exchange, then ontop of that you have shot peening gears, and different diff options......depending on budget.

call bernie though, he knows his stuff!
