    Replacing Gearbox

    Hi Folks.

    This is my first thread so hopefully I can describe my issue clearly.

    I have a 2007 BMW 320i and the gearbox is on its way out. Particularly reverse gear is about to knock the teeth out of my head its grinding so much before it catches.

    I have been advised to get a second hand gearbox. In doing so what if any are the guarantees that it will be in better condition than my current one. Does the year matter, does it have to be 2007?

    Any advice on this would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Find one that comes with a return policy or warranty. Call a few parts places, or junkyards and tell them what kind of car you have, and they'll know what gearbox fits.
