#1: Place your bets to what happened here... Author: LeeThr, Location: North West WalesPosted: Wed Jan 11, 2012 10:10 pm ---- Well after finding all the hidden bolts etc that hold the gearbox in I finally got it off the 1.4 tonight...
Only to find this on the inside after nearly dropping the damn thing on my foot. There will be a lot of swearing tommorow trying to put one back on....
Place your bets on what happened, even though we will never know...

#8: Re: Place your bets to what happened here... Author: LeeThr, Location: North West WalesPosted: Thu Jan 12, 2012 9:03 am ---- Nope, crusing along a straight at 60 in 5th gear.
#9: Re: Place your bets to what happened here... Author: macj, Location: EssexPosted: Thu Jan 12, 2012 9:04 am ---- Thats pretty unusual..... have you guessed what caused it yet
#10: Re: Place your bets to what happened here... Author: LeeThr, Location: North West WalesPosted: Thu Jan 12, 2012 10:16 am ---- I know, was going steady down a pretty long straight just crusing, next thing there's an allmighty bang and smoke which I can only geuss at all the oil coming out the box and hitting the hot exhaust for a few minuites and the box started whinnig like hell.

I actually looked after that box, even gave up with the lazy gear changes and using 5th as an arm rest, the last one took 40K of abusive driving before the diff collapsed on it.
