   my car has been running a bit rough the past few weeks.
   
   started off with me having to push clutch flat to the floor to start in 1st without it grinding
   
   next when ever i put my foot down the revs would go a lot faster without the speedo catching up leaving me to top out in 2nd at about 50
   
   then yesterday i set off in first and it made a horrible bang and felt like it stallled but didn't, then i got to my house and it lost all the fluid from the box
   
   what does this sound like from anyones experience
   
   i can still drive it but i won't it still goes through all the gears fine with idle

   sounds like clutch has finally died, as for losing fluid out of the box, that sounds a bit more serious. maybe something as simple as a driveshaft seal but a loud bang followed by a gearbox oil leak sounds like a buggered diff

   New gearbox time, sounds like it's got a hole in the casing for it to leak fluid
