STOP driving it!!!!!!!!!!! Inside the gearbox there are two shafts which the gears are on. They are all held together on each shaft by a very large nut. 36mm if i remember correctly. Whats happened is these nuts have worked loose and have started to undo and if they come off they will shoot out the side of your gearbox at a fare rate of knots :shock: :shock:
Where abouts are you in the uk ? I have done this job a fair few times on other peoples cars and is pritty easy.
Will find the link for you so you can see how the job is
