Typically, just as I thought everything was sorted.... and having just spend a
grand on a computer, my car decides that it just doesnt like me - and wants to
empty my bank account some more.

My engine now sounds like theres a tin can shacking about inside it, I have no
idea why - it just started today - and worse still - the gearbox is going
wrong too.

The gearbox doesnt like coming out of third - fine going in - but when you go
from third to neutral (or forth) - it "catches" and requires force to get it
to move - it seems to be effected by engine speed too. When slow it comes out
easier than when faster - but sometimes this isnt true and it just doesnt come
out at any speed. But also sometimes it does it the other way around.

Any ideas? Am I looking at a new gearbox?
