any 1 bought gear box bearings ? and solved there cost ? time fitting ? any infor ?

[VXR PAUL]

ok sorry to bring this gearbox issue up again,

but mine is getting very very slack, i can easy move it about when in gear, which it never used to . and now im getting a 1/2mm movement in 2nd/4th/6th

i mean i can not see it moving ''as watching the road of course '' but can feel once i have changed the gear apply some throttle it move's 1/2mm , this has only just started since fitting my FMIC so im guessing here, that due to the more torque im getting the gear box is under more strain.


i read some where on here that if you catch your gear box early , change the bearings etc it will save your gear box ? is this true ?

if so what would you suggest? any idea's of cost ?


any helpful infor would be very grateful.

kind regard's

Yes mate I put a post up when I had mine done at asautocare. I had the movement in 1st and 3rd so took it there and was about £330 and seems to have fixed the issue.

My car will always go to asautocare now. Great group there and always seem willing to help as well. Recommend them for any probs or mods you need as they know there vauxhalls as good as anyone.

cheer's mate , sound like a great bunch of lads, like most thing's in life living in Newcastle, they are to far away, ''goggled'' 170 miles


so think it's a case of ringing about, to find the cheapest place to buy OEM GM bearings , or are there upgraded bearings out there ?

again cheer's for the reply/infor
