Desperately seeking gearbox

A bit like that film Desperately Seeking Susan. Never seen it and no intentions to, but I do badly need a 16v BE3 gearbox! My spare has inadvertantly and accidentally been given away in the boot of a mondeo :(

My current has collapsed internally!

BX is going to pieces next week and I need a box to put it back together with!

Cheers

DOH DOH DOH!
The only spare box I have is a BE1.

You could of course rebuild the box you have.
Synchro's aint cheap, but bearings are not otherwordly expensive and they are realy easy to strip and rebuild.

You try getting a GTi one and rebuilding it with
the gears from the 16 valver.or vice versa.

Tis ok, I found one. Course it was the clutch all along, but hey ho! I've got a spare now :lol:
