Does the Sportage have gearbox issues?
Just wondering is a gearbox problem common on the 141 kia sportage 1.7 diesel and what is the cost of a new gearbox
Our answer:
Hi Donal,
We don't know of any widespread issue with the Sportage's gearbox. If it needs replacing, though, it won't be cheap I'm afraid. The price will vary depending on where you get the work done.
