New R1 Indy on road now off it!
Good evening all, I am new to the site but have read many a tpic over the last year .Ihave finished building an MK Indy R1. I have just put most the
details of my tail of woe on the main site under transmission etc. I could not work out how to get it on here without re-typing! In a nut shell passed
SVA on 2nd attempt a couple of weeks ago,got Q plate after waiting a week, drove it twice £900 '98 engine,bounces in 4th gear now makes noise
when clutch pressed, off road, no money ,wife had enough, me suicidal tendences. Bloke who I bought it off who advertises on this site not answering
my calls, can anyone help, what is the cheapest and safest way to sort a potentially knackered gear box,transmission without again being ripped off,
Help me please.

Hi Timbo welcome as a poster
Oh dear sorry to hear about your gearbox woes!
I haven't a clue about R1 gearboxes other than your's isn't the only one to have failed lately but there are many on here, as you
probably already know, who are well clue'd up and will hopefully point you in the right direction to solving this.
Hopefully its something simple and you'll soon get a chance to enjoy your car

Did you get it off Colibraman? I dont like to name names but he did the same to me.
I think you just have to make sure you get the most warrenty you can on the engine and put it in straight-away. And buy it from your nearest breakers
thats been around for awhile.
