Default Destroyed my gearbox :( NOW WITH PICS
Decided as it was such a nice day today I would use my car for the 1st time in months. So dusted it off and met up with TT to take it for a spin Once it was all warmed up i gave it full power and BANG ....... RATTLE .... RATTLE and no more drive

Turns out the i have wrecked the gearbox, totally destroying 1st and 2nd gears

Its managed to shed about 20% of the teeth of gear 1 and proper chewed ALL the teeth up on gear 2

I guess that the new fuel and glo plug i have for it means i am producing more power maybe more than 2.4bhp
