wanted jimny 07 manual gearbox

anyone have a gearbox to sell for my 2007 jimny?

I'm in the same boat with my 2011 Jimny, the R72 box is like hen's teeth. 

I'm looking at just reconditioning my current box.

mine is leaking fluid, seal has been done so a crack in the casing is suspected.

Cracks in casings require force or incorrect assembly to happen. It is possible to have a porous casting but this would leak from new.

So, how many miles has the box done, has it suffered accident damage and what seal was replaced?

Hi Roger. I bought the jimny at 95k about 2 months ago, done around 800 miles since then. The guy I bought it off said there had been a gearbox leak but it had been fixed by Bristol Gearboxes, there is a receipt from them saying they 'welded inner core plug' 130 gbp.(warranty period over)

I took it to a garage I use to change the clutch and investigate the leak, as it was still leaking, they fitted a new rear oil seal to the gearbox and said the leak was fixed, but it wasn't.

No accident damage as far as I can see or reported in the cars history, I'll call Bristol gearboxes and ask exactly what it was they did, maybe that will clarify.

I think maybe the gearbox has some fault now plus the leak, there is a high pitch whine, almost a whistle in 4th and 5th..

The common leak on these is the plug inside the yoke of the mini prop. Take the prop off, clean it up and epoxy the plug over.
