Got a 1.2 GP with gearbox problems. Couple of months ago clutch started slipping, gearbox was pulled to found out main shaft worn and bearing worn. All bearings and seals were replaced and a new clutch installed.
So last week acceleration out of junction put it in second it pops out of second. So second gear is gone. What is the crack with gearboxes are they all this prone to problems. Luckily sourced a used box but still a pain.
 
Not heard of problems with the 1.2. Plenty have had trouble with the 1.9 diesel and the 1.4 16v but the eight valve petrols are usually ok. I think you must have just been unlucky.

the 1.2s suffer with problems when running larger wheels usually 17s...

just cos its popping out of gear doesnt mean "its gone" as my 1.9 was doing that after having a new gearbox, it just needed the gear selector cables adjusting.
