Yes, parts and labour was circa £1k.. I'd already previously paid another £1k though to have clutch replaced in Nissan dealership

Gearbox has been stripped now, synchros replaced and all working fine - this cost circa £1k, as opposed to the £4k that a Nissan dealer quoted to put in a new gearbox

Thanks Husky, that will help until I can get it fixed at the garage!

Thanks Kyle, so £500 all in from a Nissan dealer for refurb? That sounds more like it.. I'm going to get a few quotes, can anyone recommend a London gearbox specialist please?

Thanks rabbitstew, I'm just a bit surprised the gearbox has gone after 30,000 miles.. Maybe it can be stripped and repaired, unfortunately I won't be able to do it myself. But I've been recommended Hardy Engineering in Leaterhead for gearbox work, so will see what the quote compared to Nissan Ancaster Penge's £4k...

Thanks GIXXERUK, I'll get a repair quote from a specialist to compare against fitting a second hand box.. guess they aren't going to be able to tell me exactly though until they've stripped it back and seen where the problem is..

Hello, I'm new to the forums and the site, but hoping you might be able to advise me re my 2008 350z (done circa 30,000 miles). The car broke down recently at the side of the motorway - it wouldn't go into gear and I've had a new clutch fitted at a South London Nissan dealership (cost me £1k all in) which has fixed the problem. But they said when I picked up the car it was still notchy in third - and the gearbox can be notchy so I didn't think anything of it, but it turns out it graunches loadly whenever it goes into third - it's driveable but not on a long -term basis so needs looking at. The dealership said it may be the synchros but that by the time the gearbox has been stripped, synchros and bearings replaced as needed, that I may as well get a new gearbox. This seems excessive to me? They are quoting just under £3k for a new gearbox and £1k labour. I'm considering taking it to a gearbox specialist instead and seeing if they can strip it and fix it rather than just replace the whole thing. Any advice gratefully received! Thanks Tom
