gearbox advice

(1/4) > >>

Dr Neil:
been to view a 200tdi thats for sale. when trying to select either 1st or 2nd gear it grates very badly and won't engage unless you are stationary, i think it is the 1st/2nd gear synchro at fault.
what i would like to know is whether anyone has replaced one of these b4 and do you need any special tools to cary out this job?
it also needs 4 new seatbelts as the front inertia reels won't release and the rear belts hven't got any buckles.
if they aren't too much trouble to replace and not too expensive i may just offer him a lower price for the vehicle to cover some of the cost as he had no luck trying to sell it on Ebay.....
one last question are greenway alligator tyres road legal?
thanks in advance Neil.....

muddyweb:
Are you sure it isn't the clutch ?

If it is the syncros, I would say you'd be better swapping the box.

Changing the belts is simple enough... just bolted in.

Xtremeteam:
if u cant get it in gear easily its likely to be either the clutch or the syncros,its easier n cheaper to just fit a recon box than strip it n rebuild,
the greenway alligators arnt road legal & this disco wouldnt happen to be a green 1 with no carpets & a snorkel??

Dr Neil:
However did you guess!! :D

Xtremeteam:
looked at it earlyer & decide i was better off with my £400 90
