Yes there definitely was a fail prone run into 2002, but my VIN is not included (after the ranges referenced in the service bulletin posted in another thread on this site). Plan is to obtain the 2003 MY box out of Germany which should be past the questionable manufacturing period (fingers crossed) and have that freshened where needed and installed. Then I can send the current one out for a rebuild, and have it on hand should the need arise in the future.

Thank you all for the comments and recommendations! I was able to meet with the fine folks at Motoplex in West Chester, PA (15 mins from home) today and they have agreed to perform the gearbox swap for me. Both the GM and Service Manager are top notch motorcycle guys and I am looking forward to working with them to get my Italian beauty restored to her former glory. Will plan to visit some of the shops you guys recommended once the weather breaks and I have all 6 gears available

Thanks. Everyone on MG told me to come to this site for guidance, so here I am . Appreciate the recommendation and may give then a look if something closer doesn't pan out. Cheers.

Definitely considering replacing the whole thing, and that ebay unit out of Germany looks to be exactly what I need. Local dealer declined to do the rebuild, but was going to get back to me on a swap. If they give the greenlight I'll get that unit ordered up ASAP. Looks like I'd have to transfer the rear cover, gear selector unit, and the shift selector arms to make it complete.

I'll broaden the scope here to include any shops in the US that have the tools, and know how, to rebuild the gearbox if I yank it and send it out. Appreciate any leads.

Nope, not a great start at all! I tried calling Spare Parts last week, and their message says they are closed indefinitely due to a water main break in the area. Not sure how long that's been the case, but certainly bad timing for me... Hoping to find someone to work on this thing, and not kill me on the cost, so I can enjoy it when the weather breaks. Other options are pulling the gearbox myself (which I really don't want to do) or parting the bike out. Good news is that it has a lot of parts that the members here are after (full titanium exhaust, factory rear cargo rack, carbon bits galore -- to name a few). I would much rather fix it and ride it though.

Appreciate the eBay references, and I saw that one as well. One of the sliding 'hoses' as Guzzi calls them decided to come apart on me. Thought it might be easier to swap the box than to tear all the gearbox internals out to replace the 'hoses' (which I would call a 'dog'). Highlighted parts below are what broke.

Here is what I was greeted with when removing the gear selector assembly....

Hoping someone can point me in the direction of a decent indy shop that's willing to work on a 2002 MG V11 LeMans. I recently acquired this machine (my first Guzzi) and after only a tank of gas, the gearbox decided to come apart (pics below). My local dealer (West Chester, PA) is able to obtain the parts (movable hose in Guzzi speak) but they are unable to work on the internals of the transmission due to lack of special tools. I did check the service bulletin provided elsewhere on this amazing site, and my VIN falls outside the affected machines for that specific recall, even though the failure is the same part. May try Kissel's out in central PA as well, but open to hearing from the community here on other alterntives. Really would prefer not to pull the transmission myself, but if it comes to that you can bet on many more posts from throughout that process... :).

Looking for a complete gearbox to replace the inoperable one currently in my 2002 V11 LeMans. Located in SE PA but shipping is an option as well. Let me know what you have, thanks!
