Bloody hell 
Not good at all. Were there any signs before it went? At least its back and stronger than ever 
Must admit, it scared the sheet out of me! It happened as I was changing into 6th, luckily dipping the clutch did managed to disengage the gearbox! And i still had drive in 1st 2nd 3rd & 5th so managed to crawl to the services that i was luckily right next to!
There was no warning sign at all, had no noises, the gears were selecting fine. The one thing i did notice though when taking the gearbox out was the selector was loose and had slight play in the splines. Not something id expect to cause that sort of failure but it may well of done! I drained the gearbox oil out of the knackered box to see if there were any metal shards but it was surprisingly clean!
