yes im afraid it is , hopefully it'll be ok , it ground to a halt and the engine is locked ,but the diff feels free and the long push home was ok , so i think /hope its locked at the input .

thanks for the psitive bars comments , they are f1 suspension struts cut down,they were free.

robert i do hope the diff is ok seeing as you recently bought it! broken gearbox pics are making me nervous :/

robert in the "cool" stakes i think your not far off fastcarl's trick-bits with ex-formula1 suspension struts cut down as brace bars on yours, i do like the "within reason" quick removal idea of them, nicely thought out mod, i like that alot! may steal that idea in time to come!

xcuse the thread hi-jack! nic i'm cracking open the JB weld for my extended clutch slave cylinder push-rod, i've welded threaded bar on to extend it so i'm filling the threaded bit with JB weld & i'll dremel it to a schmmmmooooootttthh finish! JD job done!

well gavin im guessing at 150 /150 , it had 144 and 140 on an accurate rr , and that was on 13.5 to 1 air fuel ,now its on 12 to 1 im guessing at around 5 to 10 bhp more .

Oh dear.

I wonder what has actually broken? Obviously all the teeth didn't fall off at the same time. Maybe the layshaft has snapped, or a bearing gone???

ill put up a pic of it when i get it all apart wil, i guess that the teeth cracked at avon ,and then one or 2 teeth came off ,fell in the works and broke off the rest, they are all crcked at the base so i dont think a bearing has gone ....time will tell !!

OOO you've done well mate!!!

Do you think it could something to do with when you changed your diff? I would of though alot more strain would be put on the 'box running a 2.9 diff, could of tipped it over the edge?? *oh well*

Hope you get it sorted..especially with MITP just around the corner!!

Ive got a standard 'box here if you need any spare bits?
