Hi there just been looking to buy a x reg 156 , this car has been returned to
the car lot as the car wont engage gears , the owner will let it go for silly
(cheep) money if i get the box done my self. has any one had any dealings
with problems with these ? i spoke to a friend who used to work at the car
lot and he said that it will drive but he went under the bonnet and engaged
gears, so he thinks its something electic ?? need advise first as the car is
mint everywhere else and if its a easy fix could have a good buy..... cheers |

Run away. *quickly*, NOW!

So much so, that most of us in here wouldn't touch a working Selespeed,
let alone a broken one.

Except me. I have 156 TI selespeed with 80.000 km and it is my second
156 with that gearbox. In total: 150.000 km without any single problem.
Selespeed is fantastic solution and I enjoy that. >> Stay informed about: selespeed geerbox |
