Default hello/goodbye gearbox

Well, seems I've broken my gc8's gearbox.. shifted hard into second and banged then revved...

second is no longer there...

rest of gears seem fine apart from being a bit hard to get into gear..

makes a small rattle sometimes when you get off the throttle... hopefully its not pieces of metal grinding away front diff or other gears...

jacked the car up when I got home and had a look, and noticed that while in gear (any) I can turn both front wheels like its out of gear, is this normal???

Did I strip second or bust a selector or something else???

how much for the rebuild? It may be cheaper just to pick up a second hand box in good condition

if you are rebuilding, straight cut 1st,2nd or some stronger helical cut gears would probably be a good idea...

i would assume that a box would be about $1500....but im not 100% sure

would like to, but will have to wait as i need the car to get to work, maybe in 6 months when i can get a shitter to drive round in... to pricy for me atm, just bought some works rims for it.... so down on cash a bit

paying 1700 for g/box rebuild plus 300 for front diff if needed...

will have to try drive it gently... not drive angry
