These guys are about the only place I know of.. they do re-conditioning. not sure i would ever trust a 2nd hand unit, but if you could try the wreckers.

Thanks,

But it is in NZ. I think not much i can do for a car then

Is it easy to replace or 6 speeds gear box ? Is anyone do this yet ?

I have heard of GT8s being wrecked/parted out because they couldn't fix the gearbox. That is why most people recommend staying the hell away from them at all costs.

I can't imagine you can change to a regular auto gearbox, as the ECU controls the box and would get very upset if you changed the wiring/unplugged it.

If you had a donor car, you could probably do a swap, because you are likely to need more than just a transmission.

Yes, that company is in NZ, but when compared to repair costs, shipping will probably be fairly insignificant.

They may also ship a reconditioned unit to you so you can do a straight swapout, and then ship yours back to them.

It's most likely a simple fault, but finding someone willing to pull it apart and replace the noisy bearing/part is the issue. If you were at all mechanically minded I would suggest doing it yourself, if you can find a manual for it...
