Won't be the last time either,it will go again.

Not too hard to sort.

Quick shift time and new clutch while the box is out.

You must start treating your gearboxes like cute, delicate virgins who you'd like to have more then once, not like dirty whores with whom you try to fuck their brains out. They will repay by making you have fun much longer
