Pinky's Broke

Coming onto the duller was in 2nd, booted it, wheels spun then it just rev'd...I thought it had popped into neutral but it was still in gear.

Clutch?
Gearbox?
Linkage?
B&M?

:( Going to jack it up tomo, incase the B&M linkage has come off,but thats a mega long shot!

just to add a couple :( Hopefully it'll be a cheap quick one. Will it go into any gears?

No it seems to go into gear fine, but then you lift the clutch and there'sno drive...
 
If it feels like you can stick it in gear ie it not completly floppy is its disconnected then its the driveshaft circlips. There only cheap and fitting ranges from dead easy to impossible depends how lucky you get the worry is where the only one is one options to strip the box down and find the remaians of the old one or you can just risk it change the the oil and shaking the box etc to get it out and hope none gets to the gears and cogs. If it does then new gearbox.is your only cheap option.

Differential circlip popped out for sure. The damage could be a number of things from bent thrust washer, to snapped thrust washer and circlip. Start of the end, new gearbox is imminent.

Dont worry Ali you silly c**t - i am going to tell you what to do

If it is the problem with the circlip it will feel like your driving the car with the front wheels jacked up ??

List of parts & tools required

30mm / 32mm socket - half inch drive ratchet
wheel brace
10mm / 13mm / 15mm / 17mm / 19mm sockets / spanners
Big screwdriver
gearbox drain plug tool
Spacer 7700720854
circlip 7703066331
circlip remover tool
sump plug ( gearbox ) washer 8200201381
4 x lts 75 / 80's semi synthetic box oil

Remove the N/S wheel ...... with a wheel brace ;)
Unbolt your driveshaft nut
Unbolt your track rod end
Unbolt the lower wishbone CV joint
If need be split the shocker from the hub to free off some movement
Drain the gearbox oil
Unbolt the 3 10mm bolts on the N/S inner drive shaft gaiter
Pull the hub towards you
then pull the drive shaft out of the box

If the circlip has come loose it will be obvious has it will be hanging out of the Diff - just like your birds G string hanging out of the crack of her arse ( bit were the shaft slots into ;) ) pull both clips out ( see pic ) and check for any obvious damage. If everything is ok fit the new circlip and spacer and reverse the above process in order to build everything back up. Make sure you re-fill your gearbox with oil you dozy turd.

If the shaft has spun and lost its needle bearings your fucked - you will need a new shaft and a new gearbox.
