I'm hoping it's just a driveshaft, but there is BOUND to be some gearbox damage from the noise it was making

Like I need an excuse for a new one
ATB it is then

Unless someone wants to pay for it....until I get a job I can't fork out a grand on the car, despite it sitting in the bank account Although I'm very close to getting one (it currently seems)

We'll see....just hope the Zed isn't off the road for long

Cheers matey. I really don't think the gearbox is knackered to be perfectly honest because when it came off the flatbed I moved it about the driveway...it selects all gears fine, even drives (if going slowly enough) so I'm really hoping it's just a driveshaft

800 Vitty turbo.Not 100%,but early ones could of had a type A(don't quote me lol)
Bonus of the 4.2 is that acceleration is better than the 3.9 OE final drive.(I want this myself but found out too late after my ATB went in)
Just throwing a few balls in the air for ya


What You Will See When You Have Removed the Drive Shafts On A Type B Equipped Gearbox
