Back to top	Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine IP Logged

Excellent news!

So is the gearbox problem just down to the broken pin on the connector?

If you need to source a new pin to repair it you might want to have a look at http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.co.uk/. They have an assortment of different pins for various automotive connectors. You could extract the old pin, solder a new one onto the wire and then poke it back into the connector.

Failing that I guess you could get a complete connector from a breaker and splice the wires together in the loom. If you could extract the pin you could do this just for the broken pin, thinking about it.
