Its a straightforward job, drain oil, split the bellhousing, but it sounds like the retaining circlip has come off the shaft, the conecting gear slid along the shaft and the shaft has rotated, look for the circlip it may have damaged the diff teeth etc, hope for the best.peyre said:Does any one out there know whether the gearbox input shaft is a d i y job to replace. When i dropped the engine and box and split them the shaft stayed in the engine.

You'll need a new seal or two as well.
I think its just the input shaft seal (easy with the bellhousing off) and the paper gearbox seal. If you ring and get them from bears gearboxes they will talk you through it
Good luck
