    4motion gearbox

    Anybody had problems with 6 sp 4motion gearbox manual.
    Was driving it a week ago and head a loud clunk then lost all gears.
    Van ended up on back of towtruck.
    Got the news today gearbox needs to be rebuilt or replaced.
    Transmission mechanic suggests rebuilt since you know what you are getting.
    $3900 for full rebuild, 1900 for clutch, plus $1000 for labor to remove and refit.
    Its a mechanic (transmission specialist) I have never used, does this seem about right?
    Is this common with manuals?
    Cheers

    DMF failure maybe its one of those stupid VW things they expect two springs to absorb all the drive train torque , apparently if they fail big time it can destroy the gearbox housing as well . I have one in my T5 still going after 250.000 kays but I still hold my breath . Also there have been some issues with the drive shafts failing [about to replace mine in case ] its making some unusual noises on drivers side .

      Hey Matt,
      price seems good, I recently replaced a t5 6m box in a 4mo, $5k second hand, + $1750 for clutch flywheel and bearing, $1k labour....
      Not a common problem, mine had 185k km, and was a little noisey before it just went bang.....
      good luck
