As the title suggests Just a few Pics of what happened to my fifth gear, very impressive I think. Could have been saved for a £8-00 bearing. All is not lost though, whilst rebuilding the gearbox Zen Performance changed the STI fifth gear for the longer UK spec one. Which should mean I wont be hitting the limiter at 148mph anymore. Also the clutch was well and truly contaminated with transmission oil so that was also replaced for a twin plate Exedy, (bloody noisy thing)

Big thanks to Paul, Liz, Tim and Derick For getting the car back together in such short time.

blimey that looks bad. I don't think there is anything worse than that grinding sound you hear, follwed by the lost of drive!!! and the thought of big bill on it's way.
When mine went I had no drive in any gears, which made getting around a roundabout very interesting!!!! I've still got bit of third laying around somewhere.
