Sheefa Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Wow, an in need of repair Getrag going for over £2.5k, what is the world coming to. A strip down and rebuild is going to cost min £2k factoring in parts, labour and potential taxes if overseas. Didn't Keron buy one recently for practically a 1/3 price advertised here, ultimately still needed a rebuild? I am positive I've seen new ones going for £5-6k which makes far more sense. Sorry Steve but that's a high premium. Good luck though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Steve but that's a high premium. Good luck though. It certainly is Greg but these are becoming very difficult to source now, the only new one available right new is on Facebook at £6500! There is no more, trust me I've been searching for a while. I have spoken to some guys in the US and there is talk that they may have access to a few more but will be at a higher price!! How much of that is truth, I don't know. The one Keron bought was an absolute bargain and would of sold for over double that. Jammy sod... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play mate and not meaning to be negative just shocked at the prices but clearly based on very, very limited supply. Keron was indeed lucky but I guess you still have to factor in a few £££ for a rebuild. Anyway hope your new one sorts the issues and you're back on the road soon. Saying that I assume this box is still absolutely fine for daily driving and use given the description. Magna Automotive (a major customer of mine) recent acquired Getrag and I'm seeing the FD/FC week after next. I think I'm going to ask the question as to how the hell we can get out hands on parts or new boxes direct from factory, if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all good information for a perspective buyer TBH, I've got nothing to hide. Yes the box drives okay at lower RPM, just doesn't like going into 4th gear at higher RPM.

jazz1 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 New one is not cheap, Titan has 8 in stock at around 9,500 excluding shipping and import but the price had gone up from last year. Jacks build process is superb if you have a busted one . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, a second hand one 3k plus, brand new your looking at $11,500 maybe more now as Titan is the only company to hold a new one, personally I would send it to jacks as they modify the box in stage 3.

supra steveo Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 How many people actually need a V160 rebuilt? Just so I can let this garage know that if they do a good job there will be more on the way for a rebuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
