As topic states-

I'm after a reliable company to re-build my gearbox!

I will also be looking at getting a new clutch and lightened flywheel.

Can anyone help me?

Cheers,

Have you thought of getting a second hand one?

That said i'd go for a lightened flywheel....especially if you havea b16!

Second hand might be just as bad as his one curently. In any engine its good to lighten the flywheel because it takes the presure of the crank to some what, which is always good.

Yeah I was thinking that as I wrote it UR2L8.

That said, I had to get my gearbox rebuilt when I got the car but that way you know nothing should go wrong for awhile (came with a 12month warranty i think it was). Got a new daiken sports clutch, and synchros done for around 2grand!

Yeah, well you gota get a mechanic to come along with you to wrechers or wherver your getting gearbox from to make sure its ok. Best option is :) lol get a new gearbox.
Id love to get my flywheel changed to something like JUN or equilevant but its costs about $200 to take the gearbox out and put back in, its sorta like not worth it unles my clutch is ****ed.

Getting a NEW gearbox from someone like Honda Australia is like a crazy $4-5K (which i was quoted when I called em for my Si!)

I got quoted the exact same and that was for a DC2R.

****!

If only I had read all your posts! I have just sent my car to a place called Manuel Autronics in Thomastown, Victoria.

I would have much preferred to take it to Razztech

Oh well thanks for your help guys! All I need to do now is find a place that sells flywheels!
