Default Balls! Anyone fancy fitting a new gearbox for me tonight? :(

Was all planned up and ready to go to pod tomorrow with my mates (like 10 of us going!), weathers supposed to be lovely, a sunday off! (which is amazing for me!) first time out this year.....

BUT....

On a leisurely drive just now, (no, really!) to my local KFC, i pulled away from the lights, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, errrrr, no 3rd!!! Will not go into 3rd at all, even trying to ram it some!

So, is there any chance on this earth, that someone has the time/facilities to change over a type 9 box for me tonight for tomorrow? i'll obviously pay you, and also help you to do it. I would do it myself, but dont have the facilities to do so.

if ANYONE can help, or knows of anyone that can do it, you would be my hero.

car is driveable, so can get it to wherever easily enough.

Yeah, but you forgot about the other 200 times when you dump the clutch at 5k and leave black marks on the tarmac..........
