  • ABY 6-speed gearbox for sale

    Hi guys, long time since I have been online but what the hell happed to this place, it took me 10 minutes to find the post a thread button?

    I still have an ABY 6-speed non-wide first gearbox which I offered for sale a year or so and had a few interested parties but it never actually got sold.

    The box has about 110K miles and was a nice tight shifter but the first gear got noisy after doing a series of hard launches at Gti International, followed by a load more on a quite village road

    The box facts and figures are as follows: -

    In Cambridge (collection only)
    Covered in oil (so don't collect in a clean car)
    Does not have the gearbox mounts (god how many times have I been asked for those)
    Does not have the drain plug (so the oil runs out if you turn the box over)
    Is DAMN heavy (yes I'll help you lift it in to your car, but you take the heavy end!)
    Is in my way and needs to go (so the first to turn up with £50 and a dirty estate car and a drain plug gets it)

    Cheers n beers

    Si

    P.S. If anyone comments on how dirty my S2 is when they turn up, the price is doubled
    P.P.S. If anyone asks why there is an Audi TT in the garage where the S2 should be, the price is trebled and you're on your own lifting it

        Everything in your story lines up except for the collect only. Please put some stamps on it for sendng to belgium. Oil spilling don't care about how dirty the postal services car gets.

          Nope, everything stayed with the car, but it does come with a free bell housing, some oil (equal quantities on inside and out), all the gears (including reverse), 3 output flanges and a large spider called Bert.

                  OK, starting to think this box is now worth something or maybe people just want to make sure that Bert the spider is not left out in the cold.

                  The current order of those offering to rehome Bert and his gearbox is: -

                  LukasR
                  Low_cabrio (based in South Africa and Bert doesn't have a passport)
                  A7djc8
                  montyrs2

                  So you're up LukasR or A7djc8 gets Bert and the box

                  Cheers n beers

                  Si

                        I am not interested in the 'box thanks Si, but have subscribed purely for the shits and giggles...

                        (Nice to see you back mate.)

                          Hey Fatty,

                          C'mon you know you want this gearbox really. It will give your car a genuine used quality - and Bert would LOVE to live in your car!

                          As for the TT, I'm sure I said don't ask! Alright, alright already! Truth be told: -

                          It was a friends
                          She said that she might sell it
                          I said I might buy it for the wife
                          She said it was for sale
                          I bought it
                          The wife hates it
                          It sits in the garage
                          I've never driven it
                          Neither has she

                          Look I'm not proud but I'm stuck with it now. If I try to sell it I have to explain all this over and over again so I keep the S2 outside, the garage door firmly closed and try to pretend I didn't buy it

                          The previous owner asked what was I going to do with it and I didn't have the heart to tell her

                          Tears for fears

                          Si

                          P.S. Anyone want to buy a TT? Dry stored, MK1 Coupe, 225BHP, one-off burgundy colour (ordered by head of Audi UK), grey leather, rare wheels, comes with supply of paper bags with pre-cut eye holes? I'll throw in an S2 gearbox AND Bert

                              Brilliant! The thing is, I actually quite like MK1 TT's

                              And, no I don't want Bert or his dirty gearbox home....
