Hey guys,

Basically i randomly lost 5th/6th gear in my little Astra, there is a whine in the box too even with the clutch engaged so all the tell tale signs of the dreaded M32 gearbox failure. I can't for the life of me find a decent replacement box so looking for someone who can rebuild it for me. Thinking this is the best place to asK!

In my little coastal town of Port Macquarie there isn't a single Manual Transmission repairer and the one recommended to me in Newcastle states that he probably can't get the parts for my gearbox. If i have to source the rebuild kit he probably can't source the gears if the teeth are stuffed!

I've found a rebuild kit on courtenaysport.co.uk for my box with a suitable flywheel and clutch cheaper than holden would even supply the flywheel!
Problem is i really have no knowledge regarding gearboxes, but assume i've damaged my 5/6th gear or synchros.

Penny for your thoughts? I understand they won't know the extent until the open it but no point me sending it to someone who can identify it but not source the parts.
