Topic: Changing the gear box in a car
Anonymous A started this discussion 15 years ago #15,688
I bought a 16 year old BMW 3 series a couple weeks ago and already I have been told by a mechanic that the gearbox is almost completely fucked... The amount he quoted me for a new one is about twice the value of the fucking car. I asked for advice about old BMWs on-line before I purchased the fucking thing and no-one warned me about this shit. How difficult is it for someone with zero mechanical experience to change the gearbox in a car?! This is ridiculous.

Go see another mechanic if this one isn't helping you.

Better how? Unless he quotes me less than half of the other fuckhead there is no point.

it's a snap, OP. You can download a teardown manual in .pdf, acquire the appropriate tools and parts, follow a few in instructions -and you're through!
piece of cake, really.

Hardly a logical comparison. I know 10-year-olds with a greater intellect level than the average mechanic.

OP, next time, could you kindly put a bit more fake British into this type of post so I could delude myself into believing it's a genuine to4ster post. :(
