would you bye a new or a recondition gear box as mine is not going in to gear that well not slipping out of gear but some times just stiff in going in to gear so what to do?:confused:
 
It might be worth changing the x-mission oil firstly and also attack the linkage with some lithium grease.

Failing that exchange 'boxes are more common than new 'boxes anyway so buy with confident caution (or cautious confidence).
 
Personally I think reconditioned boxes are generally better made than OEM ones. They are hand assembled and the quality checks are usually better as long as you use a professional gearbox specialist to do the work.

You might even be able to get your existing box fixed rather than replaced but a swap out is generally the common way this is done.
 
yer OK but noticed oil coming from under the car so don't know now what it is but its near the front so guessing gear box seal :(
