    Hi all,

    Just before Christmas I had the main input shaft bearing fail in the gearbox. I was quite lucky as the casings hadn't been damaged and all the internals looked fine. At the same time I had the clutch replaced as it was on its way out, I cannot remember if we replaced the flywheel, I'm pretty sure we didnt. The gearbox felt perfect after that, almost like new.
    5,000 miles and a 3 months later the same problem has come back, additionally some of the gears themselves seem to have become a bit loose and clicky. Not just the sound of a grinding bearing anymore.

    Should I be looking at replacing the entire gearbox and or flywheel or try and fix the gearbox again.
    I use the car as a works horse so I constantly have weight in the boot and often ladders on the roof so the gearbox comes under a lot of strain. Car has done 105,000 miles now.

    Passat 2.0 tdi b6 estate.

    what 6 speed boxes would be a straight swap ? I wouldn't mind a slightly closer ratio box if I came a cross one in good condition at the right price.

    Also, un-related, I have an intermittent flat spot at high revs when under load. Typically 3rd and 4th gear. Thinking it could be fuel pump on its way out? Or injector fault?
    I ran some fuel treatment and a few full tanks of v-power and the problem seems to have gone temporarily. Anyone else had this issues?

    Regards
