Intermittent crunching/grinding noise.....

I seem to remember 8 on the box and 8 on the bellhousing. I'm guessing the one you can't find is drivers side top, around the 1 o'clock position, it holds a bracket that has the gearbox breather hose in and makes it awkward to feel it. While the box is off I recommend changing the main oil seal as well. It's less than £25 from MF and will save taking the box off again in the future.

Yep 8 bolts if i remember correctly, split the box from the bellhousing, then remove the bell housing afterwards
