Took a gamble on a cheap gearbox fix in Sharjah and actually kinda shocked at the result

Figured I'd share my experience because I know how stressful this stuff can be when you're just searching blindly. My Nissan Sunny started making this low whining noise a few weeks back, only really noticeable above 60kmh. Took it to my regular garage and they said straight away it's the gearbox bearings starting to go, quoted me something crazy for a replacement unit. I was ready to just sell the car cheap and be done with it but decided to look around online first for specialists who might actually rebuild instead of swap. Stumbled across some detailed info on gearboxrepairsharjah.ae while researching one afternoon, which at least helped me understand what questions to ask when I started calling places. Ended up finding a small workshop in Industrial Area 6 that took the gearbox out, stripped it down, and replaced the bearings and seals for less than half of what the first place quoted for a used replacement. Been driving it for two weeks now and it's silent again, fingers crossed it holds up but so far so good. Just goes to show it pays to find someone who actually knows transmissions rather than just swapping parts.
