Juttie205 123 2 Cars Posted December 12, 2014 As i'm restoring my car and it should have a be1 gearbox and have found one for sale can you get all parts for these as will want to rebuild it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dcc 855 Posted December 12, 2014 yes there is a company on ebay which offer the bearings for around £105 delivered. The only issue is a good synchro set. I have a spare be1 1.6 gti gearbox I am wanting £25 for if it interests you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) Depends on the age of the box, various types of BE1, BE1 box's should be dirt cheap so much so 95% of the ones I get in are scrapped Edited December 12, 2014 by Miles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Juttie205 123 2 Cars Posted December 12, 2014 would fit a be3 but none seem to be for sale and not cheap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted December 12, 2014 As you no doubt know, buying a box is a gamble unless you see it stripped, Allot of BE box's on 205's are Derv ones being supplied from Scrap yards in the day so people just say a 205 GTi box for sale so you cannot really hold it against them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flipperthebushkangaroo 2 Posted December 30, 2015 Does anyone on here nowadays refurbish BE1 boxes? I have my original box which i would like to have rebuilt if possible, it has become a bit tricky to get into 2nd and 3rd.

welshpug 1,656 Posted December 30, 2015 they are barely any different to a be3 to work on, same bearing kit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted December 30, 2015 You can only do the BE1's to a degree, It depends on the type as they used various configs over the years, 1&2 share the same hub as does 3&4 with 5th being the odd one out, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
