Hi guys

I have a VW crafter with the BJM engine and long gearbox, 5th gear sheared off. Mileage is around 480KM

I can't find a gearbox to fit it. And if I do, its exorbitantly expensive - R30k to R40k.

Can i fit a short box instead and change propshaft? Does anyone know what I can do to get a reasonably priced gearbox?

Repairing is a no go as the gearbox guys that I took it to, said that 3rd gear is also damaged and we cannot get the gears to replace them and that will also be expensive.

Thank you in advance.

Mb Sprinter same thing change the bell housing.

R30 - R40k sounds like the right price. If you lucky there might be a used one for 20ish if you look under rocks and hidey holes.
