Hi all over the last 3-4 months i had a project in my spare time.
had a ph1 donnor car picked up for £600 with dephaser problem and the owner didn't have the funds to fix.
Had a ph2 Non sport sitting around for 2-3 years rotting away.
Anyway decided to go ahead and make tack car results follow.

(all up and running) http://i661.photobucket.com/albums/uu334/madm4tt1/Snapbucket/7476918C.jpg
sorry about pictures only ones i had available.
Right had a track event at Rockingham on the 23rd of January and car performed very well In dry condition with out an issue.
now the car started to wind in 5th gear after the event when letting of the throttle
.
Had an event on 8th feb and was getting car ready for this then completely lost 5th gear
then whilst trying to resolve this problem in all gears was hearing something scraping along the floor looked and Nothing (Was the Gearbox)
decided to try draining gearbox oil and refilling with new oil just out of interest then whilst on axle stands to diagnose the situation had it turning over in the air with me under the car.
And then car decides to lock it self in 3rd Gear would not come out of gear at all. (video under car) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Omtkrdzm-Ow&context=C37a7640ADOEgsToPDskKnTWvg-x0PEOWY89Yxk9gs

1. As i understand to remove gearbox from engine E.x I will have to remove all engine again from the bottom But will all subframe all have to come off 2 ?
2. whats the lowest ratio gearbox i can put on the ph1 172 gearbox
