help!! - Gearbox problem

hi all, i'm new to the forum and was wondering if anyone could help?

While i pull away from the traffic lights and putting the car into second gear i heard a masive bang. After stopping the car i could hear a loud knocking coming from the passanger side of the engine. however when i put the clutch in the sound goes away. I'm also unable to put it into second.

Also, while putting the car on the back of a flat bed tow truck i tried to drive it off the grass verge i had parked it on. There appears to be a large clunking noise from the off side front wheel. This goes away when the car is turned off and the car is free wheeled.

Has anyone got any ideas??

sounds like something in the box has broken up and clattering around inside the casing
could be that the bearing has collapsed!
check the driveshaft too, to make sure that its not a broken cv joint!

if you do need any parts then pm me as i have a good gearbox, shafts etc
welcome to gtir world by the way.
