    I have a 2014 Kia Picanto. My gears are sticking. I may need a new gearbox worst case scenario. Can anybody give me a rough estimate on how much to replace the gearbox?

    Last
    week as I was driving and my clutch went. I looked down and saw some sort of clip
    had come off.

     

     

    I
    was in the middle lane of a busy road. I had to force my car back into gear a
    couple of times so I could get off to a side road. I then had to call a
    recovery vehicle to take my car home.

     

     

    I
    had the clutch fixed and I think a new clutch cable was put in.

     

     

    There
    is now something wrong with the gearbox. Sometimes going from neutral to first
    or reverse won’t happen. I have to keep on trying. Also, sometimes when I am
    driving, I can hear a slight noise when going into second gear.

     

     

    I have
    some questions

     

     

    1)
    Do you think my gearbox can be fixed?

     

     

    2)
    If it cannot be fixed roughly how much will it cost to have a new gearbox
    fitted?

     

         

    3)
    If the gearbox needs replacing would I be able to get a second had one from an
    online car scrapyard?

     

     

    4)
    If I do get a second hand gearbox roughly how much will it cost to get it
    fitted?

      I think your gearbox can be fixed, you just need spare parts and a technician who can do it correctly, that’s the first thing. Well, the second thing is that it will most likely be cheaper and faster if you buy another gearbox  from an online car-dump but at the same time find one that does not have a high mileage. I can’t advise on prices.
