Impact wrench. Greatest purchase I have ever made.
For anyone who spends weekends having to take a french car apart to fix it, you can literally save days of your life with one.
I had similar issues a while back, starter motor had gone. Had to bump start it a couple of times in awkward places. Sainsburys car park being the worst.
When I was 17 I did a similar thing into a bollard, and I'd agree with you. Instant reaction is to slam on the brakes.
Having learnt some car control though, I avoided stuffing it years later when I lost the back end of the clio round a corner in the rain.
Learning to drive should really...
If I were looking at more noise, I'd be looking into electronic exhaust cut outs on the standard car. I believe driftworks have a V10 e46 M3 running a similar thing. Quiet when you want it, but loud as f*ck for those "Oh my god" moments.
Not to sound too harsh, but take it to a garage if you can't find the bell housing.
If you're spraying grease anywhere inside there you need to be sure you aren't going to cover the clutch in it.
