mate just had a G52 rebuilt + clutch done, drive in drive out for $2.5K... you can pick up a replacement 2nd hand box for under $1k, but u dont know the history however u could change it over in a day easily... decent rebuild kits are around $400 off ebay, then finding the labour or doing it yourself...

its claimable on his tax.. but yes; i nearly dropped my beer and snag when he told me...
Considering a rebuilt one off ebay is up round $1500+postage and then the labour to R/R, then take into account maybe $300 for the clutch to be done not inc the R/R labour... yup, thats still allot of money
