Wanted: 4-speed tip gearbox [get my baby back on the road!]

[cianjb]

I'm trying to get hold of a decent 4-speed tiptronic gearbox to replace the one in my 96 GPX that's been giving me no end of trouble for years and which has now completely died.

My sadly neglected baby wants to get back on the road....

Any suggestions / sellers?

Thanks

Cian

Welcome Cian. What's your FTO story? Tried auto dismantlers?

Thanks!

I've owned my red 96 (pre-facelift) GPX tip since Feb 2000, and the gearbox has been giving me intermittent trouble for a few years now. I've had it worked on a few times, which solved the problems for a year or so, but they always return. At this point I've given up on the box and want a new one. The car's been off the road for about six months (it limps around the block every month or so, just to prevent the rest of the parts from seizing up!).

I'm cautious about buying something off the shelf from a dismantlers, the 4-speed boxes seem to have a bit of a "reputation" - I'd rather buy something from a "known" car that's being broken. I've tried Japco in the UK (used him before and found him good) but he hasn't been able to come up with one for a few months now.

Ok, thanks to everyone who posted, I got my gearbox!

If anyone else is looking for one, there's still some available, I didn't buy them all
