Hey Guys,

Gearbox is definitely on its last legs, need a manual box to suit a K11 Micra. Let me know what you guys got!

Pref Brisbane area but open to all ideas/offers at this stage.

Cheers,
Matt

bearing noise, and the gears themselves i think are badly worn.

Its bearing noise at idle, but in all the gears now its a loud grinding sound (like raw metal), I think the hard coating on the gears has warn off.

Its just started playing up when downshifting from 5th to 4th as well, I think the spring that centers it is broken or breaking. Car has done 320k to a fair bit :)

Car drives fine, but the down shifting issue has made me start hunting again.

yeah that was my other option, but to be honest, the thought of having to sort out custom drive shafts put me off. Interested to hear form anyone that has done it though, maybe its not that bigger deal to do

my guess is that the CG spiders would fit into the GA pots (just a big circlip to remove iirc), or else the GA spiders would slide onto the CG bare shaft ?

live south, but work northside, the two wreckers I've check with are my normal haunts, but both on southside, if you see one, let me know! What wreckers you going to?

I can't recall what's on the 2 Micras in the wreckers near me. ABC Oxley has 2 Micras in their yard. I THINK one is a CVT... maybe call them?

Also if you find a condensor fan in amongst the wrecker hunt please let me know what wreckers. I'm getting desperate for my aircon!

ABC Oxley are good, been there many times.

wreckers at Brendale has 2 manual micras (1 w/ power steering)
both gearboxes are still there. $150 if u remove it yourself.
Probably could talk em down to $100 if u were really keen.

I could probably remove it for ya, but it would cost you your old gb and a carton. Some cars are hard to get to, stacked 2/3 high :)

Winner!, I'll have a chat to my mechanic, but might take you up on your offer ;)
