Firstly I would like to say hello to you all:D:D:D:D:D
my first post and i really am clutching at straws.:confused::confused::confused::confused::co nfused::confused:
sorry for the long drawn out explanation before I start.:1zhelp:
I have a 2001 2.8 V6 Caravelle with serious gearbox issues, when I bought it the gearbox had no drive, hey I thought what the hell i will get it rebuilt, I knew they werent cheap to do but i got the van for the right money. anyhow I put the Velle / gearbox into a auto gearbox repair shop and they removed the box, they then stripped it and got to a point where they couldnt do anything with it because a few components (carriers etc... ) were beyond repair. Consequently after a number of weeks had a dispute with the guy because of the lack of progress in getting the gearbox sorted, I then ended up collecting the bus with the gearbox in the back in bits. I now have a real problem it would appear these gearboxs are rarer than rocking horse pooo.
I then had the brain wave that i wonder if the Galaxy / Sharan gearbox was the same so i bought a Galaxy with the head gasket gone very cheap, removed the gearbox and found that the bell housing section of the bx is different due to the mounting angle of the enginein the Caravelle as apposed tothe Galaxy. The driveshaft entries look different also, the driveshaft flanges are smaller on the Galaxy. At this point all I could do was :aargh4::aargh4::aargh4::aargh4::aargh4::aargh4:
Couple of points:-
does anyone know anywhere that could help me out ???
does anyone know where I might be able to get a gearbox from ??
thanks for asvice in advance
