Yeah so I'm pretty sure the gearbox is dead :cry:

It sounds really rough in 1st, 2nd & 3rd but ok in 4th & 5th which makes me think box not shafts.

So does anyone have a good condition gearbox and does anyone have the ability / tools / want to help me put it in?

good work but I don't have the skills, strength or ability to change a gearbox. I'll wait to hear back from tramroad, he has an m2b4 sitting around and the toys to do the work as well as being about 2 miles from my house :D Might be able to strike a deal with him...
