   Everything completely standard, no loss of power at all, ill get a vid up later, its like a whirling noise, cant explain it haha sorry - Such technical terms I know, funny you should say that about the gearbox, from time to time the gear changes become crunchy and hard to put into gear, other times its absoloutely fine, no problems at all.?

   Try changing the Gearbox oil, iirc the Plug on the bottom of the gearbox is also a magnet, remove it and see how much Swarf is on the end of the plug. If the gearbox oil fails, then its a waiting game for the gearbox to shit itself, or saying this, maybe the release bearing? That's a long shot, hmm, someone decide for me..
