If you need to buy a gearbox to replace your existing one it is recommended to look online for second hand spares as there are many quality parts available at reasonable prices.

However, it is important to purchase the right gearbox and to know what to look out for to ensure the part you buy is in top condition.

Each gearbox is different depending on the type of car you have and within this whether it is runs on diesel, natural gas, propane or is electric.

You must consider and compare the age of the gear box you are looking to buy, while some can run on forever, one that is very old and has had a high usage may not last that long.

Look at the general appearance of the gearbox part and if this is not possible as it is an online store, ask to see a photograph of it.

If the gear box has been well maintained and does not look like it has withstood bad driving conditions, or driving habits this will show by its general appearance.

It is also sometimes possible to test the performance in a Load Test which is recommended if possible.

Another good option with secondhand gearboxes is to buy one which has been used as standby as it will typically have much less wear and tear.
