hiya guys

i just sold a gearbox to sum one Â£50 the car it came out of drove fine 70 mile from where i bought it to my house, the clutch pedal felt like it needed lenghning as biting point was sumtimes too low ie id change gear and it would catch, i tried tighning the cable and the pedal snapd;-(

i then moved car into garage, normally i can start a car in 1st with no clutch and then drive, i tried this in the r19 to no scess as it kept stalling.

This is the only driving i have done sinse the 70 mile trip, the guy took the box out fitted it and now it goes in gear but doesnt move at all in all gears!!!!

wtf has happend i feel realy guilty as it is a mate of a mate and he evan came round it took the other engine out for me ive already said he can have his money back an opoligiesed and said il try and sort out another box feel like a proper cunt thoe;-( any sugestions as to what it could be?

Thanks Paul.
