How often does this happen?
I have had some gearbox trubles and have decided to chage gearboxes.
When i took the engine out the shaft that comes out of the gearboxs came out with the engine.
Is this a common thing?

If you pull the shaft out, is it broken? or has the circlip come off, the reverse gear idler moved and unthreaded the input shaft?
I have never heard of this happening before, its not too hard to fix.

The reason there is no reverse is because one of the reverse cogs is used to keep the input shaft attached. The input shaft has a threaded insert that
screws onto the mainshaft, then the reverse cog slides over the splines on both the input shaft and mainshaft to hold them together, and then there is
a circlip to stop the gear sliding off.......so the circlip has come adrift......the gear has slid back....then the shaft undone....then the shaft has
come out when you pulled the motor.......yeah it happens all the time.....not.
