[quote="splashdown"][quote="paul_c"]Pragmatically, as above. While its quite possible to DIY remove a gearbox, then take it to a place for reconditioning or fit a good secondhand replacement..... It needs something of an investment in tools, which I doubt you have. For example, do you have axle stands, trolley jack, decent socket set, decent set of spanners, etc. Not done a 206 gearbox removal but on other FWD cars you need either 2 trolley jacks, or an engine crane, so you can maneouvre the engine and gearbox separately to line them up and get it all nicely together without removing the engine, and without too much hassle.

I have a 2 tonne trolley jack, ramps and stands also spanners from 6mm to 32mm the same as my socket set I also have lots of other tools aswell, I know its a torx but do they call it inverted? I ask because I am going to buy the proper sized one ( I could of worded what I was after a little better)

I have used torx before but recessed not the other way around and also as said its the size im after becuase I dont want to but stuff that will only have to be taken back.

The tool with a female 6 pointed star is a "Torx". Since the vast majority of bolts on any modern Peugeot are Torx, and you need to ask, I'm guessing you don't own a Torx driver set and have in fact never done any DIY work on the car (you need them to take the door cards off, for example).

To recondition a gearbox you need hundreds of pounds of unusual tools like a long bearing puller, extra long nose pliers, etc etc and the internals are complicated and need disassembling/reassembling with precision.

The only way I'd suggest to save costs is to make an appeal to see if any DIY-minded forum users are in your area and fancy doing this, for a couple of quid (more like £50-100 though, to pay them a fair rate). By all means help them out - if they ask for sugar in their tea, make sure you stir it thoroughly, for example.

Best of luck, let us know how you get on![/quote]

I would happily pay someone a 100 quid to sort this out as its costs that are going to hammer me as I have been quoted so may prices all out of my range.[/quote]
