I personally would steer away from that place.  Unless you are in with that particular crowd then they won't give you
the right service.  And they will make you really pay for it

I assume you mean Queen St, not Moorebank Bodyworks.
I was thinking the same thing about Queen St.

haha, yeah QSR.
Nice cars but too blingy and fake. 

my friend went through QSR and he knew the owners. He put 22" chromes on his Accord Euro and dropped it with a leather interior, down lights and a full fibreglass dash. 
Nice for sitting at shows and won a heap of awards but just too "showoffish" is that's a word.  Anyone agree?
 

Yeah I've only ever seen excessively blingy cars parked out the front when I drive past, which is many times per week. I often hear revving Ferrari engines from where I live down the road from there too lol.

haha.  why oh why did they decide to drop the Fez lower?  it doesn't look right

I dropped my car at Moorebank Bodyworks this morning. When they're done with it next week, I decided that I'm also going to take it across the road to Liverpool Exhaust and get them to change my exhaust tips to make them sightly larger diameter and slightly less tapered. This will give me the same sort of look of most aftermarket exhausts, but I'll retain the great sound of my custom exhaust system.

Everything has been going great with my car for months...until tonight. My MR2 has just had its first (potentially) serious mechanical failure since I got it. Something transmission-related is now f**ked. At least it's not the engine though, that would be much more annoying.

Basically, I can no longer select 5th gear at all. There also seems to be an issue selecting reverse.
I was accelerating pretty hard, and something went wrong while I was trying to change up to 5th gear. I don't know if I stuffed up the gear change and put too much force on the shifter cables, or if something has broken inside the gearbox. It happened so fast and unexpectedly, I don't remember the specifics. I don't know if it happened while trying to engage 5th gear, or immediately after engaging 5th gear (if it ever engaged at all).

Here are the current symptoms:

- When I try to change into 5th gear, there is no shifter resistance at all, and it doesn't engage at all.
- When I try to select reverse gear, there is some shifter resistance, but it doesn't 'click' into gear properly.
- Gears 1-4 all seem totally fine.
- This last thing is possibly the most interesting observation...there is quite a lot of fluid sprayed around the gearbox region, I don't know exactly where it is coming from.

Given the above, what are your thoughts?

Fortunately the car is still driveable in the first 4 gears, but I don't know if I should be driving it when there is fluid all over the gearbox area, and when I can't reliably select reverse.

Sorry to hear of your badluck.
I hate that feeling of dread when you suspect something big has gone wrong
 
I would not drive it right now.
 
You could be doing more damage to the gearbox which equals more dollars to fix.
 
Get it towed to your trusted mechanic and have it diagnosed.  Good luck with it.
 
 

sorry to hear this. i hope its just a simple fix, probably best to post this thread in the mechanical section.
 
cheers
