Mate i'm still on it, and doing a video as we talk. So you have to remove the lower subframe i'll put it that way. When was you thinking about doing it as i can try to edit the video in the next couple of days!! I was using the basic home mechanic gear, not to hard i guess, it's my mums car and she doesn't need it so i was in no hurry!! I've possible took 4 half arsed days on it so far!!

Why what's it doing? What made you come to the conclusion?

Grinding noise and clutch slipping. It is the input shaft bearing (common issue on the EGS, so if you take the gearbox out I would probably replace it)
The chances are it's damaged the internals of the gearbox so will need a rebuild.

I wouldn't worry too much. I would change the oil however. It is supposed to be sealed for life but it won't harm changing.
