Don't know about a manual but our auto cost $3900 to recondition.

$2200 is still steep, but a bit better than $3900
ISTR that TD5 and V8 boxes have some gears different ratios.
try TRS Adelaide
Cheers
Modern Motors - Dungog (02) 4992 1486 also have reconditioned/exchange boxes.
Thanks all so far, would I also need a new clutch or is that part of the gearbox reconditioning? If I were to buy one like the eBay ad mentioned earlier? :)
Any advice what else to do whilst box out would be good.
Isn't it reasonably common for fifth gear and reverse to get a bit noisy while the rest of the gearbox is still good?
If it is caught early enough, isn't it possible that all it needs is a couple of bearings replaced? That can even be done with the gearbox still in the vehicle.
Terry at at Award diff and gearbox would have to be one of the most knowledgeable on rover gearboxes this side of the black stump.
