Quick question, what's actually broken in the gearbox??
sounds odd, your not pulling more power thou so how can this effected your gear box, have you had a 3rd party look at your car? Fair trading may ask for this also.
Is there any thing on the UK forums about gear boxes going at this many kms
can you break your writing up a little please
From what you have said I would say the diff gears have broken and gone through the Gearbox. correct?
The only reason spider gears (the small diff gears) fail is from excessive wheel spin and that would be the reason Holden has voided your warranty. Seen it happen many times before.
lol i blame holden for wheel spin too then lol wheres the traction control!! haha:D
bet yeh as burito man said your not running any extra power through your box because of your exhaust... your car would have lost power over the years from wear, exhaust wouldnt probs make it back to stock levels, but in saying that the gearbox would also be wearing down and be able to handle less.. so damned if you do damned if you don't with the situation..
check your box type with that one thats been posted... its deff the cheap way to do it, dont let holden get your money for their mistake!
I still can't get over how crap holdens service department are at dealing with problems on their european models. :mad:
That just sucks mate, I had similar issues with stuff like that when i had my car. And $7500 for a gear box.... where the hell are they getting that from???!!! My mate just had a new gearbox put into his 330 BMW and it cost him $3900....
Thanks i will
Na the problem started before the accident
Yeah gonna keep trying but if all else fails i definitely wont go back to holdens
It was the spider gears and some pin that they spin on but they spat straight thru the middle and out the side so the whole gearbox is rooted
Exactly.....
cheaper option for you??

sounds like it comes with gear box, stuff it don't come with you can salvage from your engine now.. sell your engine without the g/box after to make some money back :p
