Alfa 164 3.0 24v engine and gearbox(es)

[hollytree]

Well the sitting condition unknown gearbox is a duffer! - No matter/no criticism.

I have tried cleaning it and struggled so I took it to Halifax Clutch N Gearbox.
Well they just called.
The box is stripped and the casing clean but 3rd and 4th gears are shot.
I need 3rd and 4th gears and 3rd and 4th gear hub kit.
Anyone got any ideas where I might get such items?

So sorry about that, I obviously had no idea it was duff or would've weighed it in for scrap.

I thought the usual failures with these were the bearing, so a couple of gears gone is really bad news.


I do have my other gearbox, attached to the old engine, though that is fitted with the Gripper limited slip diff unit, which has some more value than a plain box with open diff.

No problems and don't say sorry.
You sold it to me for me peanuts in any event.
It has sat on the floor for 18 months and all seemed fine whenever I twiddled it by hand.
With old cars these things happen.

I have some leads on ebay and Guy has given me some great suggestions to pursue.
I will now play Poirot for a few days/weeks and see how I get on.
