did it myself, it was new, but from what i could work out when we put the engine in there were 2 bolts missing that bolt the gearbox to the engine, and the mounts wernt aligned proper, i re aligned the mounts, and forgot about the bolts, was out for about 10 mins then it just went bang!, put new clutch in and bolted the gearbox back up properly and its sorted now, only problem i have now is that it cuts out every now and again
