car is a 2008 Octavia gearbox code KDS .

Gearbox rattles in 4th and 6th gear, drives ok in other gears. 

The garage advised to have the gearbox repaired at a specialist. 

Has anyone ever bought a remanufactured gearbox, fitted it in their car then sent their old box back? Is there a company that will take my old box in exchange- just looking to cut down the cost atm.

Ebay search proved unsuccessful.

or is it not worth the risk and it's best to fix my old one. I swear this car is going to do my head in 😑

You could always try M&T Transmissions in Sheffield...   I know they are a long way away but ship worldwide etc and seem a decent bunch of guys.
