@ Nyari

Have you had the damage to the gear box assessed (by competent mechanic specialising in gear box repairs)

The gearbox could only need replacement of a few 'chewed' teeth/gears and cleaning of metal chippings from the others. It have to be completely dissembled and reassembled.

This could be a better option option than buying a complete gearbox.

Know this from a friend who worked at Toyota Kenya and used to do this for Toyotas.

Go to Subaru Kenya workshop/garage guy specializing in this and have him do this for you off duty.

Wish you all the best.

@ Mukoya
Reduce it to 150K and I'll still not buy. I can import it for 50K max but the wait is what's killing me,does anyone know if the eastleigh guys have an office in japan? and what would be the aprox cost for air freight.
@ GG,
the guy must have panicked after the turbo opened and he panicked decresing speed by pushing the lever upwards like a manual instead of to 3. We still haven't discussed as i mgiht do something regretable
@ Djagame,
I've had 2 serious guys check on it and even have a diagnostic report. i just need to be prepared in case we don't get parts for replacement. They say its not advisable to open before you get the parts. I intend to have both guys work on it as they both said its complicated and needs a very sober mind due to the sensors

@nyari - eastleigh guys have no jap offices. Lakini Dubai iko..... you should be able to get can get used gearboxes from there (genuine or not ? sijui)

Wait (weight) should kill you. 35-40kg may be more if boxed (it will be boxed!)

Not sure of cost of freight from Dubai should be less than UK (500/- per kg)

Uki kosa,..... will do a search for you but I'm guessing ksh70k from UK blia freight.,


Get ready... for the open road!

@ JKM thanks,If only I could get someone reliable to check it out first,I understand UK spares are among the best bcoz their 'kbs' standards are more stringent. From the look of things it will still be cheaper than the figure some mechanics are giving.
A total of 70K is not bad and I might be lucky and get a guy to throw it in as part of their cargo. When is the next kq,emirates offer for free 50 kg's if part of hand luggage. lol.

@ Nyari.... a 4X4s gearbox (approx. 50kg) is larger than normal cars' and hence heavier (reliable source).

I'll see what other details I can get & email you.
