#1: Gti 180 gearbox Author: dantheman, Location: Sidcup, KentPosted: Mon Jun 04, 2012 2:24 am ---- Just wanted a bit of a advice before I let the car go too cheap.
When I'm driving I get a ticking/strong vibrating sound when I take my foot off the accelerator and it goes when I push the clutch down, it goes when driving normally to just literally when rolling basically?
I assumed it was the gearbox and the garage told me I'm looking around £400 to rebuild the gearbox.
Is he right or just trying take the p**s?

Tell me about it, last 2 mot's have cost me £500 one because the bloke who refurbed my wheels damaged all the locking nuts do had to drill them out and ended up having to change the hubs.
So I'm lookin at a fair bit.
