Default PROBLEM SOLVED. VERY LUCKY!!

OK taught i had a gearbox problem because i couldnt get any gears.
Turns out i rung 3 of the bolts off the drivers side drive shaft. The other 3 had come loose AND FELL OUT and the 3 i rang off were only holing on by a couple of threads!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blessed it happened from a stop and not in the middle of a corner at speed.
Been told that this is a common occurence, anyone ever have it happen to them?
