#1: bust gearbox? Author: nakednakeddave, Location: aberdeenPosted: Sat Jul 16, 2011 6:31 am ---- after finally getting my car back on the road today after over a year, and after about an hours driving.... i think the gearbox has gone....
everytime i pulled away in 1st it would sort of jump and clunk..... so decided to take it home to have a look, and id crunched and stopped and everytime i put it and gear and try to lift the clutch it just grinds.....
so got it towed home and hey...it works....oh wait....no it dosent now....
any help, new gear box, or needs oil or anything......?

are you sure it's the gear box and not gear linkage?

but i tried it when it got towed home and worked.... so got the guy who gave me a tow to hold it back n just started grinding again....
