98 1.4 gearbox - emily6
the garage has told me that my car rover 400 needs a new gearbox ,and has quoted me £800 cant afford that and is it really worth it , car good and low mileage 4000 . it makes strange sounds when i take my foot of the accellerator no problem with gears apart from reverse sometimes , any ideas would be grateful

Is box noisy in all gears or just reverse?
Don't wish to be cruel but have you considered scrappage scheme?

If it still drives OK I would be inclined to run it until it breaks.

Meant to say the first and cheapest thing to do is check the oil level in the box.
