Changing Gearbox and Engine
 

I recently bought this car with a blown Gearbox with 240k on the clock

so i did some research and found a Engine n Gear box with 110k on the clock

for about 450 - 500 $ and i found a mechanic that will do it for about

450-500 $ Labour

P.s The mechanic has already check the Engine and Gearbox . clutch should be ok

So is their any extras i need to look out for? eg oil and oil filter?

The mechanic should include engine oil/filter/rad coolant although, don't simply assume you will get much else. Motor has low klms so, state you want a good oil used like a 15w-40 as this will give better results ie: performance/wear/economy.

Post install, they should pressurise the Radiator to test for leaky pipes/hoses etc so, this should give you peace-of-mind concerning cooling system!

Advice - ask mechanic to change brake/clutch fluids (manual) & air cleaner filament. Also, ask them to check/replace any hoses, ie: radiator hoses, that may look suspect. Check condition of timing belt, this should be due so, again don't simply assume all has been done & is well! Better, assume nothing has been done unless it can be proved ie: paperwork/receipts provided.


Hope this helps?

Cheers! :cool:

i would change the clutch if you are swapping gearboxes. no good having to do this all over again when the clutch burns out in 50,000-100,000km.

if the car has done 240,XXXkm, then replacing all hoses and radiator fluif is a good idea.

a new filter and oil would be good. then drop only the oil and replace with new in 1,000km.

Spoke to him today should be good to go on Friday morning

now i have to organize towing 60 $ approx/?

Towing turned out to be 50$ ea so all up 100$
