picture to show you as requested. 

saw from two separate parts pined,welded and sheared.

just as I said absolutely rubbish.

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 

I've just checked out car as requested, I can go through the gears without depressing the clutch and there is no prop shaft noise.

Nothing noticeable happened and no previous indications whatsoever 

Just got up I'll have a look soon as I've had my coffee lol

there was no noise from anywhere just like being in neutral.

Cars a 2009 roadsport I have got the car home via AA towing it.

I can select all the gears but the car has No drive to the back wheels, the clutch is hydraulic the pedal pressure is there and no loss of fluid.

My 2005 sigma engined road sport has the same problems with the speedometer  needle moving erratically on occasions, advice on the problem would be great and also I would like to know how to calibrate the speedometer
