Hi everyone , took my 2000 2.3 ml 2 Galaxy in to have new drive shafts fitted ,when turning the wheel it was making a clunking sound, the garage have told me the gearbox diff is shot and now the car is undrivable  , they recon that disturbing it has made something that was just about hangiing on to fail .
Anyway , I need a second hand box but after looking on eBay there are a few different code numbers , does the box from all 2.3 mark 2 galaxy's fit or is there a difference ? And does anyone know of one for sale ?
Regards
Chris

I think most (if not all) of the 2.3 petrols were fitted with the VXT-75 5 speed manual gearbox which I would think
would be pretty much the same (and interchangeable) across all Mk2 2.3 petrol models, such as this one here.
