 Ford Escort - 99 1.8D I think the gearbox has gone. - adamf
Ok driven the van for a bit now and the following is happening:

There is a horrendous grinding/droning sound now coming from the van. It is only doing it when accelerating.It was not doing this before it went in with the old box and clutch and also when i put it in reverse it "thuds" in and the the van jerks back.

Think i will call the garage back tomorrow and get them to sort it. They sourced the gearbox so hopefully i should not have to pay anymore money to them as it wasn't doing this before it went in.

Do you think the box is at fault hear? Any ideas?
