I dont think it will move anywhere with a hole in the gearbox. Lol. Best to sort that out first. Are you getting any check engine light (CEL) coming up??

no no check engine lights but it does seem like its running on 3 cylinders as it feels lumpy and somtimes dies on idle have checked to make sure the head isnt crack but it all seems fine, it was fine yday the guy i bought it from drove it up the road with me in it so i am hoping it is just the gearbox as im getting a replacment
