Well if it suits your needs, and you can afford it, and you want it, then buy it. It seems a decent price, but the gearbox would probably need repair by a specialist, not really a DIY job, An engine to TDi for!

Would be worth doing a search, I can remember something about the indent springs and bearings messing up but being repairable in heh car on a LT77 box.

Also they run ATF, yes ATF in the gearbox not gear oil, this can lead to non changing gears.

Box was same / same family as the TR7, jaguar etc.
