If the gearbox failed soon after having the clutch replaced, I'd suggest that no oil was put in the gearbox after the clutch was replaced.

Yeah, it doesn't make any sense to me how the starter, clutch and flywheel were damaged - considering he started it himself when it was towed back to see the issue. |

Was the clutch replaced by the correct unit. From what you say the damage appears to around the clutch/flywheel area, with perhaps pressure being put on the gearbox input shaft.

Hi - that makes sense - I had a typo in my original post, the noise was coming from 2nd, 5th and 6th Gears.. then first also in the period just before failure. Perhaps it was not the correct clutch or installed incorrectly |

It also makes sense that he saw that the clutch was not correct when replacing the gearbox and then replaced it and is trying to bill me for it |

I haven't changed a FL2 clutch so cannot suggest actual reasons for your failures.

I can't see how an incorrect clutch can be fitted, and if it was, how it would work correctly. Yes the gearbox will to be drained of oil when the box is removed, so the correct amount of the correct oil needs to go back in after it's all back together. It all seems a bit suspicious to me.

IIRC there is no need to drain the gearbox when removing it to access the clutch as it has a bolted flange that the prop shaft attaches onto. That is why you can still drive the car with the prop shaft removed. |

A long time ago (early 1960s), when I was a lot stronger (and inexperienced) I managed to fit the wrong clutch in a Ford 100E Popular.

The LR drive shaft needs removing, so the gearbox can come out, so the oil will spill out when the drive shaft is pulled. The rear prop flange is on the PTU, which is a different component to the gearbox. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car. 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Gone. 2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE. Gone.

Yes Nodge is correct! I was forgetting that the front driveshaft connected into the gearbox! |
