Looks like you need a tranny, or a significant part thereof.
As we used to say in the back shop over lunch. "Gee, I've NEVER seen that
before!"
On Spitfires, the release arm pivot will seize or the pivot bushing will go
away. Sometimes the arm cracks, sometimes the bellhousing, and sometimes
both. From the 4th picture, I would guess both. Too bad the tunnel doesn't
remove like on Spitties.
Good luck.
