Hi guys I'm about to get a dc5r however the owner says the gears are currently starting to crunch sometimes when its in reverse so I'm trying to find solutions before i go ahead and buy the car and avoid any tranny problems in the future.


Is there anyone here with experience regarding costs for the following options
am i better of getting a new gear box replaced or just rebuilt ?
how much would it be for each of the options + labour ?

I'v been reading around and a rebuilt is around $1500 or so ???
I haven't been able to find a price for a new gear box though.

or what would be the best solution for me ?

any help is appreciated.
