the car ;D

Looking like I'm going to have to get this box back on single handed though, could be fun!

It's a lot smaller and lighter than an autobox - but still bloody awkward!

I'd appreciate opinions, on whether the above pics demonstrate the cause of not being able to select gears from a standing start... :)

I'm suspecting he jacked it up, then placed the ramps under. Although it would need to be jacked pretty high!

Well......i saw the one that came out of your veccyB......when the garage was changing the g/b.....garage owner comments where......no point putting that clutch back in....we'll put a new clutch kit on it.

It looked far worse a state than yours......and used to judder when hot, changing gear......but then it had done about 90k miles.....
