Fifth gear syncro hub deterioration is quite a common point of failure on very high mileage A3's and is usually hub specific. Buying a secondhand box could easily import the same problem, depending on its mileage. I would purchase the hub and/or see if the hub in your spare box is compatible.

Dean, firstly, DO NOT APOLOGISE FOR PUTTING OUT CONTENT! WE LOVE IT! Secondly, repair or replace is a content dilemma (as well as financial) , yes we would love to see this box an possibly the other g/box pulled apart to see if you can make good from two or even if you just swallowed the audi extortionate price for parts an fix the original box. Whatever you decide it makes great content that we will eat up. Reading the comments I'd guess its pretty 50/50 on the repair or replace thing. Personally, I get asked to do jobs that I haven't done before an a lot of the time the answer is, I dont have the tools or experience but I'm just about to buy the needed an going to learn. All that said, yes it is easier cheaper for you to go the s/h route to send the car down the road. Anyone who buys it will have a great record of the cars history from your top skills! My fave comment from the 488 comments(that's how many there were when I started reading) was the T shirt one about not mechanical lol, you should get it printed up. Just my 2p's worth. Keep it up.

I note a few have mentioned go for recon gearbox. I think you said your option was a second hand box. There is a big difference. S/h box won't have been checked/tested. I guess s/h boxes are out of a written off car. I would want to know mileage at least. As has warranty, at least you can take back if problem. But that will waste a good few hours fitting and taking out, etc. I once repaired a gearbox. If I remember, only needed a simple puller. I agree with what someone said, have a look in the old box you've got first. Good luck.

What has trashed the synchro hub is where it's been driven for a long while with the baulk ring weak or failed and the crunching has knocked the tops off the dog teeth on the synchro hub. Unfortunately you will find the dog teeth on the gear will probably be in a similar condition, so you will not only need the synchro hub but a replacement gear and baulk ring too. As you already have that other gearbox it may be worth stripping that and see if the gear and synchro are the same in that. Secondhand gearbox may be worth it, but it's a gamble, at least if you fix what you've got you know it's faults and that the rest of it is good. Done lots of gearboxes on classics, but never one of these, but they're all the same basic principle. Good luck with the fix - sure you'll get there!. Like your videos even though it's my day job too never bore of it!.

Your videos are great. Keep them coming and stop apologising! If it was me, I'd be tempted to look inside the diesel box to see if the syncro hub is the same (I expect not given the different ratios, but I don't think I could stop myself having a look). I'd then go for the new part - you've broken the back of the repair, and I totally agree with your prognosis of what is causing the problem. You're lucky that the hub needing replacement is at the top of the shaft so it doesn't even look like you're going to have to do too much more disassembly. A second hand box could have worse problems. I pulled a gearbox apart in my younger days and replaced all the syncro rings and bearings and it ran sweet as a nut after. I still remember the horror of dozens of individual needle rollers falling out as I pulled it apart, but thick grease and patience got it back together. Also, there's limited KZitem entertainment from an eBay purchase and install :)

The Gearbox you have only needs the 5th gear set up. The replacement gearbox you stated was not an exact drop in and it sounds like you are going to get parts from the replacement gear box. If so I would get the needed parts from Audi, you already have the gearbox apart. If you are going to drop in the replacement gearbox, get the replacement gearbox and put in with it's 30 day warranty. Of course I would enjoy watching you tackle the rebuild. I am looking at the time to do everything. For £40 the drop in gearbox is worth the time saved over the parts and rebuild.

My spin on it...... (HGV mechanic). Tools for doing the job is one thing without gonna be hard pushed to strip down to the point of swapping parts. Ive had them sometimes even with the right tools the bearings etc still don't wanna come off. Secondhand gearbox is a risk as you probably know. Another thought. Buy the secondhand one. Rebuild YOUR box then sell it on for spares or repairs. Least then get some money back. Buy the secondhand box pull the casing off first and judge the condition before fitting it?

When you earlier referred to the 'mechatronics', I assumed this was a DSG box, but rewatching older vids, it appears this is a normal manual box. Bit confusing when you said 'it' would not select certain gears. If I remember correctly, you had trouble selecting more than one gear, so one synchro hub is unlikely to be the complete issue, unless it is not releasing a gear, so preventing selection of any other. For this reason, I'd be looking closely at the selector mechanism, for wear, or loose pinch bolts, etc. Worn selector forks can also be a problem, if they've lost enough to reduce the travel of the synchro hubs. So there could be more wrong in this box. As suggested, there could be some use in the old box you have. Whilst gear ratios are likely to be different in the diesel box, the synchro hubs may well be the same, as might the forks. A lot of work to strip and compare the two. Any replacement needs to come from the same spec car, as ratios might be different otherwise, so if the eBay one is correct, it looks like a good option. Finally, a plea. Please try to keep the camera still. When moving, move it more slowly, and give the autofocus time to adjust. With the camera moving we mostly get a blurry picture, very difficult to see much, and certainly no detail. Thanks.

If bad, it could be ok for the parts you need but you’ll still be needing the tools.

Ok so the damage to the synchro sleeve is caused by the worn excessively gapped baulk ring (brass ring). Gap is huge even on film. The fix involves measuring with feeler blades the gap (clearance) between the flat back of the brass ring and the gear kand adjacent to it. Usually less than 1mm. To fix that correctly as a minimum, you need the synchro, baulk ring and gear. If you look at the triangular dog teeth on the gear, they too will be rounded. Nit economic for you I'm afraid. My advice is warranted rebuilt unit or a second hand with a forecourt warranty. Hope this helps.

You need a press or a set of decent pullers. Make sure the pullers don't break the teeth of the gears if you do it.

Buy second hand box and fit that one . You can use old box to learn how to dismantle and put back together at a later date , also any more damage else where might end up costing more in long run .

Financially I’d go for the second hand gearbox rather than risk trying to fix that one! As you said, poss need special tools may need to press bearings in etc, and that’s a heavy awkward lump when you’re doing it alone!

Replace the damaged parts then you know it's right . A used part could be well worn and not last long . You may consider a bearing kit for the shafts if there was any noise when it was idling , input shaft is always moving .

Maybe i'm wrong but £250 for an automatic gearbox especially Audi is super good? i was thinking about getting an automatic Audi A3 but i see videos like these and make me hold off haha but saying that i was told as the main reason to not buy autos is because if gearbox fails its thousands but then again you found a gearbox for £250? unless i'm missing something lol but i would say put your current in corner and buy that gearbox from ebay, just came across your channel a few days ago and love the vids man, very interesting to watch.

Mrs Dean, walks through the door " Hi Darling, have you seen the curtains I put by to wash for Christmas?" Dean replies, No I haven't dear. I'm going to buy you something really special for Christmas this year!!"

It would be a good idea to part out and sell the good stuff from the gearbox you have and use those funds for the refurbished one m8. Appreciate the a3 videos!

Go with the recon box. See if they would give you anything for yours in exchange. Keep the videos coming. 👍

well my friend you can get as you know a salvage gearbox but it as to be from some one you know if you can pick it up your self spin the shaft in the housing and listen for loud bearing noises it is much easier to fit a salvage one as to strip that one down
