Help please, gearbox problem with my VR6 possibly

Hi all

Could you help me with determining what the problem is and what I can do about it. When driving home tonight, I put the car into 5th and it seemed to knock, pulled into a garage to have a look as I have just had my decat pipe fitted and thought it was knocking. Everything looked fine, so went off, stopped half a mile up the road and as I pulled off in first, it crunched !sad , thought it wasnt in gear properly, so tried again, crunched once more !sad . Stopped, popped open bonnet, looked underneath and there was a large pool of oil !sad , seemed to be coming from between the engine and gearbox. What could this be, I was thinking a collapsed bearing, any thoughts of what it could be and anywhere I could get it fixed in the Maidstone/Rochester area??

Cheers

Blown the seal out of the box.....gear box oil smells like BO and cats piss, so if it smells like that its probably what you've done.

ALso your clutch will prob start slipping soon

Ok

I have had a look in the cold light of the day and it must be gear box oil as my engine oil has not gone down! The car starts and runs but the minute you put it in gear and go to lift the cluch it crunches like a gooden. Does anyone know of any one in the Medway/maidstone area that could come and have a look and give me some kind of idea of price to fix it.

Thanks

John
