Hi,
I am trying to fix my (learner driver) son's 2005 1.3 VVTI Petrol 5sp manual Mk1 Yaris "Colour edition" (needing a new clutch) and wanted to fit a replacement gearbox at the same time. The reg is 05 and the V5 shows model as SCP12R-CHMRKW with Engine number begins with 2SZD5xxxx . The car has 91K on the clock. The current gearbox has issues in that the changes in/out of 3rd gear are very "notchy" and it sometimes jumps out of reverse... I have had quotes on refurbishing the gearbox which come out at more than the car's value, so I am tackling the clutch/gearbox with the help of a friend.
I am looking at breakers and on ebay for a decent box, but have realised that there are a few variants of gearboxes in play so I don't want to get the incorrect type. Having found what I think is a candidate, I am after some reassurance that it will actually fit, and I am hoping you could confirm. The gearbox I am considering buying is this one: ebay item 324983194880 ... but since I have not stripped the old one out yet, and am hoping to do the swap and clutch job in a day, I am looking for some peace of mind... can you help by confirming this is a match, or perhaps suggest an alterative? I am hoping to find one with less miles on the box and with a warranty of sorts within a learner-driver's budget...
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help...
