Hello all not been about for a while (yes im slack)
got a major problem with the almera as in i have killed the gearboz=x :mad:

Need to find a reconditioned one, but having issues with this & have now been told that this is a common problem with almeras.. any ideas????
 
i have a spare gearbox mate, i wouldn't post it though :( got clutch n flywheel with it aswell if you wanted :)....pm me if interested
 
N15 or N16? Your profile says you own an N16?

Think the gearbox failure is a common fault on an N16 because of where the fill hole is or something (can't get enough oil in), but N15 gearboxes are fine, and apparently as bullet proof as the engines (in a GTi) to quote Slapster ;), as long as you drive properly (this is all from memory so apologies if I'm wrong :O )
 
If the car in your 'newbie' thread (the green one) is the one with the fooked gearbox it's a late year 2000 phase 1 N16.

The gear boxes on these are notorious for collapsing at around 60k due to a design fault ( mines is at 69780 - just waiting for it to pop! :rolleyes: ).
