Auto gearbox rebuilders in Southampton or Portsmouth?

[dejjl]

I need to get my 6 speed auto box rebuilt on my T5 community bus converted camper. I know it's gonna hurt price wise! I'm on the Isle of Wight, nobody can do it here (due to ramp size - my bus is 22.5' long), so I will go to either Southampton or Portsmouth. I'd be grateful for any recommendations. Thanks in advance. Dave

It might be worth contacting these guys: http://www.abtechavssltd.com/index.htm

They have done quite a lot of work for me in the past, although I don't know if they can rebuild gearboxes. I can't think of anybody else at the moment, but I'll let you know if I think of anyone.

Is it a propper auto or the vag dsg as a lot of auto gearbox places won't touch them

There is a gearbox specialist in Millbrook. Specialist Transmission Services if I remember correctly. They worked on my Mrs’ DSG box and were great. I don’t mean this disrespectfully to anyone, but it felt like a proper engineering firm with old school mechanics, rather than ‘what does the laptop say’ modern ‘mechanics’.

Unless you’re lucky sadly that’s the way it is nowadays.

Spoken with these guys and they seem very knowledgeable. Thanks.
