No_6 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Hi All, Managed to break my gearbox this weekend and could use some recommendations on a new one. I live in an apartment, so I can't do the work myself either. I was thinking that in the long run, it would be cheaper to pay a mechanic to do a clean swap. I'd pay more for a complete transmission, but less in shop time and I would have some spare parts. Unfortunately, I don't know where to look for a good gearbox, and I don't have a mechanic up here in Seattle. Recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

RossD Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I've heard good things about http://www.taylor-race.com Maybe give them a call and see what they suggest (ie. new or rebuilt box). They are in Texas so that won't help your mechanical problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James A Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I second the Taylor Race shop, they have done several rebuilds on race Caterhams that I know of and done excellent work. There are also some strengthened parts that can be used such as shift forks and I believe syncros. I have one of their rebuilt gearboxes as a spare for the race car. However,,, they are not cheap!

No_6 Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 Well, turns out it may not be the transmission I broke. Could be the axle, I'll be finding out within a week. Thanks for the recommendations! I may do some other work as long as they are in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
