Well just to keep the thread alive some how the gearbox has lost a few bolts and snapped 3 i havent a clue how but in simple terms it killed the 6month old clutch as soon as i came apparent that the gearbox wasnt being held right i was on the way to sort it and lost drive all within the space of a few miles of discovering it. i suspect that the solid engine mount has vibrated some lose then stressed the others to snap.
So removing the box was rather simple seen as though there wasnt any bolts to remove! then i thought it be easier to just lift engine out to drill the remaining bolts out one of them ended up snapping a drill bit inside it then the other the bleeding extractor tool snapped! FFS! so now got that task to sort out some how!
Now rather than fork out money i dont have on a new clutch edd and rippthrough have done a proper xud lash up on it welded the center up so now the clutch is unsprung but only time will tell to how it holds
only pic i have engine is now out though! will get more as and when
