easier to get a low milage box from the scrappers, tu boxes are made of swiss cheese anyways

yeah I'd agree...
these are known for breaking a lot...so try finding a lower miler.

Milage is irrelevant, I had a low milage 'box fitted that lasted less than 2 months before breaking again.
They are cheap and easy to replace, but you really can't tell when they're gonna break. If you want longevity and reliability go for a recon'd 'box, won't be cheap though.

I've owned two 306 that's have had exactly te same issue with them. They're all as soft as transvestite on eastrogen tablets.
I've had the gearbox of a 306 more times than I care to recall now. It's all part of the fun of living for the 306

thanks for help just need car running for work to see me after christmas been offered one from breakers 100 with 60 day warrenty
RE: gearbox bearings gone :( - Toms306 - 27-08-2013
That's a lot for a used 1.4 'box but I suppose the warranty is worth it.
RE: gearbox bearings gone :( - callumh122000 - 27-08-2013

RE: gearbox bearings gone :( - Rippthrough - 27-08-2013
Most decent TU 'boxes are around that these days Tom, especially the single linkage ones, where demand seems to be higher than supply.
