Hi,
Just signed on!
I have a '99 3.5 with 5 speed manual that has a noisy bearing. Can anyone recommend a good place to have it reconditioned?
Cheers,
Ben.

I hear "The Gearbox Shop" in Alice Springs are good.

Otherwise a little more info on where you are may assist.

Oh yeah sorry. I'm in Lismore (far north east of NSW) so often SE QLD is easier.

I can tell you where not to take it..... infact just look down a little bit. :cool:

*edit* - try giving magna wreck on the gold coast a call.... They're at Currumbin.

Kewl, they were actually one of the numbers I found on a search. Thanks for the heads up. I'll try Magna wreck.
Ben.

get the price of the syncro kit (common fault )
and the bearings

better to find a gearbox shop in lismore if they stuff it up
less distance to tow

choose a good brand clutch

have the rear engine seal replaced at the same time

i was wondering when a north coaster was going to rock up. i'll ask some mates and see where a good workshop is for ya

Where are you from TS3.0?

brissy but went to school down there at woodlawn, down there every couple of weeks

kewl. Any side pics of the car? I'll keep my eye out!

Note the clutch comment. What is a good brand? Sorry been out of cars for a while and then it was auto's n convertors :)

Same as joe. From lennox and usually only there or in byron when im home but occasionally get to lismore to see extended family.

But i can't help you; i never had a car to look after while i lived there.
