well i'm not too sure at the moment, the engine is shakin in the bay and i can't get into gear properly. my mates step dad's friend came out who's a mechanic and said i might have damaged the flywheel.

But the engine revs normal so i don't know whats goin on.

I've got a spare flywheel if you need one.

take a look at your upper gearbox mount and dogbone mount, if these are shot they can result in juddering on take off and difficulty selecting gears

^^ second that.

Mounts are things that wear quite quick/often on these cars ; common prob. Could very well be your issue

would you mind holding on to this for me incase i do need a flywheel?

This is what i thought, cos there was no bangs or clunks when i was driving and it just wouldn't go back into gear properly so i drove it slow and left it cause i thought summat had overheated.

will the upper gearbox mount cause the engine to shake?

Except wearing they also split in half sometimes ; this will def cause a lot of shaking etc.

Can you move/rock your engine back + forth by hand ? If it moves more than lets say a cm or 2 then you should be looking at mounts

Yes it can be moved more than a cm, my friend is comin over with axel stands to get the car up in the air so we can see whats goin on.

Where is the upper gearbox mount situated?

you have to remove battery to get to that one. Under battery tray
