As some of you know, i had a wee accident which resulted in a few bent components.
All the stuff me and my mates could see wring with the car have since been replaced, but me being a numpty, didn't check the gearbox after the crash. Its sat on my driveway at the mo and when we got all the new parts fitted last night, i sat in the car and tried to select gears. No luck whatsoever apart from 5th gear.
When you go to put it into any gear apart from 5th, it feels like there's a brick wall infront of it, but 5th slots in nicely. i was in 2nd or 3rd when i had the accident if this helps?!
Do you think this calls for a new (second hand) gearbox?
Also, since putting all the new parts on the driver's side (driveshaft, strut, wishbone, track rod and end) the wheel still sits at a funny angle, the top of the wheel is poking outwards, and the bottom poking inwards.
Im not sure if I've been supplied with a short driveshaft or if the differential has been compressed further inside the gearbox. there's no g.box oil leak at all either.
I'll get some pictures up tomorrow to help you all understand.
Any help much appreciated,
James
