got it over a pit today and the oils leaking out the tell tale hole at the bottom of the bell housing  :angry: so looks like the gearbox will have to come out before further diagnosing! theres no clutch slip though so clutch may be salvageable

As Danny said bin the clutch, no point in doing the job twice.
