Three 200 pulls and the gearbox has let go!!

Was running 100 - 150 in 5 seconds then we moved on to top speed and then the gearbox whine started.

Is there anywhere in the UK who can help with the T56 and will have the parts?

Carl, was this with synthetic oil and circulation pump on, I also overfill on oil; give me a call when you can, I know for some Comp Coupe T56 gearbox's, also the place in UK that built the GTS-R gear boxes, I'll look out the phone numbers.

OK the Dr. has the gearbox now for a post mortem in the morning. Based on the results I will decide if TOTB is still a goer. I will be a pisser if I get side lined as alot of effort has gone into all this.
