replacement gearbox for a 1999 SYMPHONY

Does anyone know how I might find a replacement gearbox for this model which is the 1998 cc  Peugeot  petrol version  Gearbox has lost much of its syncro  and cable from gearbox to speedometer is constantly breaking Local garage willing to undertake work but needs access to spare parts. Any advise welcome

Some people have been reporting problems obtaining gearbox parts. I suspect that this is because their garages don't know where to access parts and don't want to spend lots of time looking for them. I would take it to a local gearbox specialist because they are more likely to know where to source what you need. If the van is in good condition it is probably worth getting the whole gearbox rebuilt and new clutch etc then the transmission should last the lifetime of the vehicle.

As you live in Northwich have you tried Car Transplants at Nantwich? 

01270 - 627919

You also need to know what other vehicles that particular power train was fitted to.

I don't know if it's the the same gearbox but worth looking into.

I probably wouldn't even try repairing the existing gearbox. Once you have an old gearbox apart, there are a lot of things which could need attention. It's likely to be more economical to get hold of a rebuilt one from a gearbox specialist, on an exchange basis, including a warranty. Economies of scale mean they will be cheaper than getting a local garage to rebuild it. There are a few places nationally, I'm sure. Some will even fit the gearbox while you wait as well, so it's a drive in, wait while it's swapped over, and drive home again afterwards type of thing. I don't know anything about these people, but this was the first one I found:

I hadn't been there for ages but Google threw this up which suggests they've moved to Winsford;

i have just had 2nd gear replaced on my motor by National Gearboxes Lowestoft. Did a good job.

In 2017 M&W autos at Wisbech fired the last known new old stock gearbox to my 1999 Harmony 1.9tdi. Contact Maurice on 01945410746 to check on the latest situation. Have your vin number to hand so he (or anyone else) can check which type of gearbox applies to your vehicle.
Best of luck, Terry
