There were a couple of different boxes available so if you can ID the one you have then we can probably come up with some suggestions.

Cheers

hey all ,
thank you for the quick responce , the gear box is from a 1.3 ltr wb festiva 1996 model , it was so bad it sounded like stuffed cv`s , but new gear box has only about 9-10 teeth missing from the star gears , still a basket case , and new gears are around $150 each and theres 4 ,
