Hey guys i have a k11 on a L plate Pre facelift 1.0 with dizzy. when i bought it the gearbox was whining louder than i could shout so i got a replacement from a scrappy. (took me about 2 weeks to find one).
anyway change them out and within a couple of days i could hear it starting to grind. that was about 2 months ago in the passed week its been on a few long unplanned runs and is now in almost as bad a state as the one i took off.wont go in 1st without a fight, 3rd and 5th pop out if and when they please. no gear change is smooth and from in the car it sounds like i'm always in reverse.
so what i'm looking for is a easy guide to changing all the seals/bearings and anything else or help from someone that knows. failing that a a person or place i can take it and get it done at a reasonable price.
as i still have the one i took off and from taking off the outer housing it all looks ok so im guessing its just bearings that are dead (looks ok to me i'm no fitter and dont actually know what im looking for other than damage to gears like broken off bits)
thanks in advance for any help guys i need to get this done asap as i need the car for work and its driving me nuts with the sound of it.
