    I wonder if it could be a weak spot with the box?

    I was wondering that as well, looking on ebay the only replacement boxes are over 2K.
    Nothing to see here, move along.

    Got the car back last night, I asked them what might have caused the gearbox to go and they couldn't tell me anything. Anyway Kia paid the lions share and I have a car again. Don't think I will keep it for long as if the gearbox is weak how long before it eats another one?

    Good result.

    If the last one went for eight years, why would this one go any sooner?
