I think Terry was just offering a helping hand, and I appreciate that, as any help is better than no help lol.. Ive come accross a conversion kit at a reasonable price, however it is from an NA. Will this work as I have a TT?? also the mileage is 79000. Should I go for it?

Fair enough, I liked the idea of the shift at will kit but when i considered the price of just that alone, is more or less the same as a manual conversion... Just out of interest how much power is the manual box good for? I dont want one of these blowing up on me too lol... Is mileage an important factor on these gearboxes? And where can I find one, I've been looking all over, and had no luck finding a manual conversion kit. I hate having the zed off the road, my sisters Mini doesnt quite compare lol...

Seems like an auto rebuild is a costly venture then, even if doing it yourself... Im swaying towards a manual conversion now, I spoke to the insurance company and they said it'l only increase my premium by £39 which i think is alright. Now I just have to find a manual conversion kit... which is proving harder than I thought it would be... Andy how come you're after the rebuild as opposed to a manual?? Is there anything I have overlooked :S?

Thanks for all the offers guys, Im going to do a bit of research as Im still undecided whether to go for a manual or a rebuild. Im on the lookout for a manual conversion kit, but there dont seem to be any about at the mo... Do you know off the top of your head what sort of prices il be looking at to fix the gearbox and strengthen it a bit? Im not after outlandish power levels, but I would like the option to increase it a bit later on Yeh that was me, funny how much can change in a week lol... what do you think of the manual conversion, would you do it again on your own car if you could, and would you recomend it over another auto box? Did you find the manual conversion to be a straight forward job? and is it worth the hassle? Also is there any way for me to contact you if I find a manual conversion kit, as I would appreciate your help greatly as you've done one already. One other thing Ive been thinking about is how will it affect my insurance?? im only 21 so I was quite lucky to get insured as it is. Will the manual conversion pose many problems? When did yours go?? Its a tough life ehh... :( What are you planning to do? rebuild or manual?

Ive seeb a 300 TT beat an alpina B7 so a 750 shouldnt be a problem ;)

Cheers I appreciate the offer, as I would like to be able to fix it. Do you know of any ways to strengthen it in the process? Also where should I be looking for the parts? It seems like a rebuild or a manual conversion, which is the bigger job? I was just about to start increasing the cars power so in a way I guess its best this happened first... Who knows how much more damage the increased power would have caused. Whereabouts in Essex are you? Im just in Redbridge, as soon as I decide what path to take Il start working on it.

ahh I was hoping against that being the case... is the any information floating about regarding how to rebuild the gearbox, or how to go about a manual conversion? I would like to try it myself, as it gives me something to do, and to learn... Im not too keen on the replacment as you never know when that one will go too .... What sort of costs am I looking at? It was driving so nicely today as well... I went down to southampton to pick up a boost controller, and on the way back it died... A wasted journey in the end..

Ive had the zed for a few months now, and its been in the family for a good few years. Never even hinted at a problem before, been perfect in every way... Then today out of the blue at 60 theres a bang and some horrible crunching sound and loss of power. Seems like overdrive is completely gone as is reverse... and 1st and 2nd make the crunching noise :( Looks like its not going anywhere in a hurry now, what are my options??

Cheers mate, that would be me. Havent seen too many zeds around here, yours looked good, I like the rear lights.
