Unhappy Gearbox Blown

I was on the Jim Clark rally yesterday driving to the 1st stage of the day. Cruising along in 5th when I lost all drive. Still had 4 gears for about 5 miles and I thought I'd try and nurse it to get me home. Oh well, that didn't happen and after a short while the thing jammed in neutral. I got it recovered home and now I'm trying to source a box for it. The model no. is TY754VN1AA. It's a uk car MY00. Just thought I'd share my tale of woe.

Call David at Welcome to the API website and he will fix that easy in quick time, or rather Rob his ace trans man will.

David is a zero bullsh!t kind of guy.

Cheers Graham. The box is sorted now. A rally mate of mine stripped it today and stuck a new 5th gear in there. Thankfully the damage was only on the 5th gear wheels. Now the joy of re-fitting the box on Saturday. I bet it rains like it did when I took it out, yesterday.

Nice one!

I'll be lining up at a hillclimb in the rain I bet, hoping the tyre choice is a good one.

Good luck to us both!
Graham
