BEWARE ! BEWARE ! GT TRANSMISSIONS, STRATFORD UPON AVON
In May I purchased a refurbished exchange gearbox, clutch and 5th gear upgrade for my T4 camper an had it fitted for a total of £955 from GT Transmissions run by Glen Mills in Stratford Upon Avon.
When I got home I found parts missing - plastic engine/battery divider panel, timing inspection rubber plug and the 2 small M6 nuts from my engine pan.
The gearbox developed a whine so another was fitted that had a rattle that was caused by a long series 13mm impact socket that had been left on top of the box behind the selector. This gearbox has developed a leak now and I have found a cap head screw missing from the near side drive shaft flange.
I have now visited GT Transmissions 3 times now and although they have given 12 months guarantee I do not want to visit them again.
My advice to anyone buying a gearbox from GT Transmissions or VAG Transmissions run bye Glen Mills is to pay Paypal using your credit card and you claim a full refund within 120 days if using Barclaycard.
Can anyone advise me of a good gearbox recon specialist.
