Changed box two weeks ago (twice) as last one blew a hole in casin and everything was goin nice n smoothly.Changed clutch pedal (many thanks for help from Chris) and done about a thousand mile in it without a hitch.

Today heavens opened so roads a little slippery.Pulled out from traffic lights like you do n wheel spin like mad, next thing i know there is no power to the wheels so i think oh no clutch gone.stuck at roundabout waitin on a mate to tow me.gets car to his and checks car,strangely there is now absolutely no gears.No reverse no 1,2,3... now the gear stick moves in all the right directions and linkage to gearbox sound but with engine off and engine on there is just no selection.

I can make it crunch a little when i try reverse but i thinkin something has `popped off` in the gearbox durin the wheel spin.Any other ideas from anyone? and is it another box change again?

I love my 19 but this is gettin beyond a joke all this box on box off carry on i just want my baby to work lol
