Gearbox valve fault

[Finzky]

Hi,

My gearbox was suddenly switching to neutral from first ger with hitting impact on 5 to 10 mph. When I`m putting car on reverse the whole car starts vibrate. Took car to garage, they are telling me it`s most likely Valve body. Labour - £240 + to fix valve £350 + oils and bits £80 = £670. At the moment they are connecting car to computer to make diagnostic before it will be touched with tools. Maybe somebody had before something like this and can advice me about issue and pricewise is it sensible to get this sorted. B class 2.0 petrol Automatic 2006 W245

I had a valve body recon'd by a company in wallasey for £160 and they replaced most moving parts and springs that had any signs of wear. Google valve bodys uk and you will find them speak to a guy called peter very good service imo and im hard to please. You can also send it to TAS gearboxes they have a vslve body test bench i think they charge £50 for test and report.
