    Gearbox dropped off at a firm fairly local for a going over. Once he's stripped it we will decide on a way forewards. Providing its not cattled and just wants a rebuild with new seals and gaskets I will prolly have the input shaft machined and sleeved.

    Cheers for the offer mate! I even thought about doin it myself as I like learning new stuff but I'm hoping engine/gearbox can go in next weekend if this guy can turn it round quick enough.

    You can swap that bearing...I am a big fan of doing things myself if i can, due to my recent experience.

    Weirdly I can only describe that gearbox as beautiful to drive! It was one of the best bits about the car that is why I originally decided to not touch it. But I was encouraged to replace the oil seal, thank god and found that !!

    I bet that would of bleedin howled..shortly before it locked solid!..
    I have changed the bearing in the rally car box..It was straightforward and cheap to do.
