Clutch is normally heavy. New cable improves then a lot for a while.

If you have an engine crane you can have engine out the too within an hour. It's really a piece of piss while under looks a struggle.

So the gearbox was fine, and the only thing that's happened is your brother was rowing the gearstick about while stationary with the engine off and that's what's leading you to believe there's a complete failure of the box?

And you haven't yet disconnected the linkage from the box and attempted to put the box in each gear from underneath the car?

gearbox was fine, my brother slammed it into all the gears with the engine off the then the next day the car was stalled in reverse and then the gearbox had gone.

Haven’t tried disconnecting the linkage, decided to align it first and after about 15 attempts we reckon it’s the box as there was 0 difference whatsoever. After that many tried i’d suspect there would be some kind of a difference.

It seems to go into gear fine, i can hear the selector move into reverse on the box. it’s like there’s a break in between the selector and the selector fork

I reckoned the clutch would be fine. A cable can be a job for the future i reckon.

i don’t have a crane personally, but i may know a someone who does. Dependent whether it fits in the back of an 01 plate Fiesta mainly. i’ll ask him now.
