Nah its quite a complex job, the gears aren't in sync so not just a case of taking the casing off like on some cars. Cars also got a LSD which gets in the way i think; spoke to a few mechanics and they said they wouldn't touch it and a gearbox specialist is the only real answer. Just takin out and re-fitting is a 6hr job

£450 is a good price though to be fair. Does that include fitting and removal though or not?

done 94K, it is a common fault on the ATR's tho Can get it done parts for free apparently through honda as a good will gesture, but you pay the labour which i think works out more expensive

Still low millage for one of these mate

It is the most complete car i have had mate, perfectly balanced, goes like stink and very good value for money. Also you have th added bonus of room for 5 and so comfy front seats Fuel isnt the best tho, 82 miles to £15 of optimax driving carefully, but i guess power has a price
