Gearbox! was created by woodsider
Hello, I have a 2007 Jimny, from new and have done 48000 miles. Careful lady driver! (yes, there are some of us about!)
Gearbox has gone this week - surely this is not generally expected at this age and lowish mileage?
Any similar experiences please?

They are not generally troublesome. Are you sure it's the gearbox, not the clutch or the transfer box?
What are the symptoms?

Hellish grinding noise. started out as a "flapping noise" which made me think I had a cardboard box or a bucket wedged underneath. got out to check and nothing visible. Mechanic thought it was gearbox or transfer box but has now come to decision its gearbox.
Jimny has to go off to have it re-conditioned. quoting 3/4 days around £950 collected, done and returned. Dealer £1265 +VAT and labour. Think it has gone or is going today to poss Black Diamond at Warrington.
Pig sick as I run an animal rescue outfit and so permanently skint!! Also use vehicle for feeding and checking feral or abandoned cats till we can do something about them. Now having to rely on lifts from Grumpy Old Git.

Correction to the above - only joking re reference to GOG! He just prefers not to have to take me here, there and everywhere unless it concerns biscuits or chocolate! Sad thing, this old age.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationare you committed to having it refurbished now?
You can get a 2nd hand one on ebay for £350 + delivery.
Surely that would be cheaper, you could even weigh the old one in for scrap to get some money back!
Its the first time of being a regular on here for over 18 months that I have heard of a gearbox going...
