   Changed my gearbox but for the life of me can't work out where these cables go for the battery before I out the battery back in. Any suggestions?

   I think that may be the earth that attaches to the top of the gearbox.

   So annoyed still not working, car starts now and drives but then it slips back out of gear and doesn't work :/ could it be the thrust bearing? As it was loose and didn't connect to the arm at all.
   
   Could this mean that I now have 2 working gear boxes and it was the thrust bearing all the time?
   
   Should I start a new post?

   The thrust bearing wouldn't make it pop out of gear, just wouldn't be able to press / engage the clutch properly.
   
   Have you got the linkages on right? What condition is the gear linkage 'rubber ball' in?

    Linkages is right because it's going into first and reverse but after driving maybe 10 metres slips and make a a crunching noise/ can hear something loose and spinning hence why I think it's bearing. :s also lower mount I'd on correctly yeah, I'll take a look at the rubber ball but tomorrow but I've bought a new clutch with bearing anyways. Cheers guys
