Its the same set up as I had since I fitted the Toyota box 2 or 3 years ago, so it's well tested, in fact it's the same as when I had the Alfa box.
The grating sound is when I press the pedal- without trying to select a gear... Sounds to my engineering ears like the bearing - it doesn't sound fixable without spares and it's an engine out job. If I knew what I needed and had the parts, it's a days job......
