man that really sucks .. did the gearbox feel wierd before it went bang ? or was it driving just fine then all the sudden ??

it was getting a bit loose, coz now it feels tighter.. but it just happened all of a sudden

The rivets on the selector forks were coming loose . Its a common problem on all 02m 02q gearboxes . The fix is to replace the rivets with a nut and bolt .
I feel for you cause you just replaced one gearbox which had the problem with another that will eventually have the same problem !

After being with VW racing for almost 2 seasons Ive seen it all with what happens with the 02m gearbox

Ouch. Best find out what if that was wrong so if it's an easy fix at least you can resell the gearbox.

Did you happen to fix this when you had my box and clutch apart?
