Now know why it have no drive. At first it looked like a broken pass driveshaft. Open the bonnet to see the engine hanging awkwardly. The gearbox mount had been taken out.The stud on top of the gearbox has snapped. So I need a new box, plus a pass shaft. Where the stud goes into the top of the box (and has the circular plate) it's snapped, the metal round where the stud screws in is mangled. Still have the stud, but box is damaged on top |

I had this on a 205.A lorry did smash it off the road though, so it was no surprise. ________________________________________  |

I'm guessing it means a new box as it doesn't look as though it can be repaired |

I only ask as there was another hole next to the broken one which was intact and threaded. But it in no way lined up with the rubber mount. I've also looked at pics of other 6 boxes and it's not the one that's used |

Think I'm getting it wrong. It's not the stud which has broke, but the top of the box which the stud screws in to |

Seen this a million times on smashed up cars ? Gearboxes usually go at that point but people just use the box anyway |

You can get it welded up in situ and tapped. |

It might need to be taken out for access to be welded up. Another option is I have a gearbox that's lost a few gears but the housing is good, you could have that for £20 and I know someone that would rebuild it for you very reasonably using your internals. |

I think easiest option is to whip both shafts out first and then get the box off.I'm trying to go for quickest and cheapest solution which may be a replacement box. Don't have your skills Ash |

Sooner or later you'll find someone local enough with a decent box for ~£50. As you mention, you may as well crack on and get the existing box removed whilst you are waiting to source a replacement.Or remove it, bin it and you are more or less halfway through breaking the car then. ________________________________________ |

I'll repair it and get it back on the road if it costs me no more than £150Anymore than that and it becomes less cost effective |

And ideally driveshaft seals and fork bushes. Whilst it's apart is it perhaps an idea to do the clutch as a selling point? ________________________________________ |

£70 - £100 for a clutch but you would be stupid not to change it |
