Hi al sorry for the delay on information on the car.Today after sourcing a mechanic to remove the engine and gearbox out of the car,the trouble has been diagnosed. The input shaft has sheared off, its a ford type 9 gearbox fitted to a 1.6 Sigma 2009 roadsport. Apparently the main shaft is cut and a the end that goes into the clutch has a new splined end that fits the ford sigma is welded to the remaining shaft. I was informed by a gearbox specialist that is what Quaife do.When the mechanic split the gearbox from the engine he told his boss that he thought it was made for two different parts, which is unbelievable,they both agreed when they got together to examine it further,they said it was the worst of the worst engineering they'd ever seen.This was also affirmed by my friend who was chief mechanic for Bentley when they won the 24 hours Le Mans and that ort to add credibility to the findings.Have anyone else had this issue? Regards Graham
