Afternoon all,
 
While out at lunch in the spitfire changed gears from 4th down to 3rd and
got a "crunch".  The last time this happened, the circlip that holds the
2nd/3rd gear cluster broke and fell down in the bottom of the gearbox.  The
gearbox is less than 7500km on this clip and it is GT6 MKIII with OD.  
 
Questions:
 
-          Is this normal given normal driving conditions?  
-          Is this a weak point of this gearbox?
-          Can I fix this easily?  Simply take out this and that in units
and put back is the reverse 
-          Instructions anyone????
 
Thanks in advance
