Next question, was there ANY diagnostics made, if yes, what were the results ?
There you get your most answers what is wrong there ....
If you got them list up the codes ....
Sry im asking, but your mechanic is a freelancer or somewhere in a dealers garage ?
Does he have all the equipment needed for the diagnostics and thigs ?
Otherwise i dont understand why you asking the question here /whats the problem) if hes qualified and smart enough to find out the problem.

If he just says, gearbox needs to be changed, i would like to know for what reasons ... In forums actually noone can give you adequate answer for your problem... unfortunately ...

Yeah there was nothing showing up on diagnostics either. It now wont go into gear as all the gears are worn down and are slipping.
The mechanic has his own business and is Authorised, Audi Volkswagen Seat Skoda dealer!

Had one last year in with me that had a manual conversion,lots of work involved and i had to pull a few tricks to get the speedo working, as the car has an automatic engine ecu and you'l be removing the transmission control module you will lose abs,and abs light will come on. So you'l need a manual engine ecu and loom to do it right.
