Hi, I'm new to this forum and thought i should post my question here.

I just bought a 1990 integra ls and i've been told by the seller that the gear box is stuffed and needs replacing. How much money am i looking at in order to replace an old gear box for this car? has anyone done this before?

any help would be great! thanks.

i'm planning to call hanny's performance for a quote tommorrow, i think they're my specialised local honda fixers ?

- also he said the two front CV's needed fixing, any idea on this?

sorry im not so car smart xD

CV's are around $90 each to purchase

any ideas on the cost of replacing the gearbox?

**thescotty** · 27-05-2008 11:35 PM

ahh thanks,

i just called hanny's performance and i spoke to a guy named robert and he told me to replace a gear box would require him to find a second hand one costing($800) or get a newone($1200) and than to install it ($350) totalling around($1150 - $1550) i think this sounds a little pricey but i've never replaced a gear box before so i dont know.
He also told me the cv joints would cost $200 each.

so what do you guys think about the pricing? is it cheap too expensive? is there a better place to go? i'm located in sydney south west area around fairfield-cabramatta region.

thanks for your help!
