help needed guys
i bought a 2litre baywindow gearbox for my dads van from a guy down in hampshire couple of months back.
it was stated it came from a low mileage van that was driven before engine and gearbox removal and was said to be a perfect gearbox. it was so good i paid a little over the odds.....
just had gearbox fitted by a friend who owns a veedub business, and it turns out the synchromesh for third gear is possibly shagged or on way out....it makes a crunch everytime it either changes up or down through third gear.
my friend says its the box, but i was wondering what you lot might say....and i need to see what you would do in my case.....
could this be a linkage problem or a box problem...as all other gears are perfect....the shifting is tight and perfect....I'm inclined to think its the box....
it cost £220.....if it was sold as a perfect box (his words) can i give the box back and say its fubar'd?? my dad is upset but hasnt said much as yet...
where do i stand I'm fugging upset right now.
what would you lot do? what if it was you who sold it? would you take it back?
