Recently i purchased a T5 off a forum member (i wont name names ill let them read it an explain if they choose)
Now this gearbox was part of a full conversion, and he stated when i asked the condition that it was in good condition and shifted nicely. As it was my birthday on sunday i decided id get it in before then so friday night i ripped the dash out an put the pedal box in and sat morning i put the manual gearbox in.. all good unti i started it up on the hoist and it is the NOISIEST gearbox i have ever driven 1st 2nd 3rd and 5th whine excessively, with 1st an 3rd being the worst 2nd rattles and sounds like its in 30 pieces inside the box.. My dilemna is i paid for a gearbox in good condition specifically so i wouldnt have to get it rebuilt, now im up for nearly 700 to get it rebuilt, and thats if theres no gears damaged. I believe i have every right to ask for some of my money back. When i put all this to the person i bought it off he then stated he hadnt even driven the car with the gearbox in it. Now correct me if im wrong but doesnt that make the gearbox unknown condition.......? |
