Hi , finally got to pull the drive out. The uni was just flopping around because the end of the middle drive shaft has broken off. Anyone had any luck just replacing the shaft so you don't have to pull the motor out?

Hi, got myself a center stand and that made things abit easier. The noise is coming from the rear of the gearbox as some of you were thinking. Almost silent in neutral but noise gets louder and higher in pitch as you go up through the gears. I will try to workout how to get some video up...
