.... sounds very much like the TB input gear splines have gone to me.....
Clutch or gearbox issue?

The spline wear is the splines from the gb to the tb, so it would be prudent to split the two and check....
Clutch arm punching through is common....the slippers wont cause you to loose drive I would say.

As Mr Kwakerman mentioned - OP can check for this by taking the transfer PTO cover off....
If, as we expect, the shaft and gear have failed - or rather eaten each other alive, then split them....

I had the cover off before I dropped the gearbox.
So when you lifted the clutch and tried to get drive, at a certain point you would get a rattle and all the gears on the transfer box would move like 1/8 of a turn or something.
Suppose I don't want to do a fullclutch change without maki sure when I've put it back together it's going to have fixed the problem!
Can I put it in first and spin the gears or something and see if the drum on the rear of the transfer box spins?
Cheers

Which cover did you have off - the one that's being suggested is the round one up at the top of the back surface of the transfer box.
I didn't realise there's was two! My bad. I had the rectangular one off before. Guess I need to check the one mentioned above. So circular one on top!
Given we have some doubt about the state of the gearbox's - I wouldn't give it any more pain until you've found the problem...
This is why we think its the failure described in posts 17, 18, 22, 23 etc.
I had presumed you meant the bottom cover - rather than the PTO cover...
have a nosy at this vid:-
Correct - need to find the problem first - and you have at least saved yourself the issue of the clutch letting go at some point in the future.....

have you tried turning the clutch center whilst holding the outer
I'd assumed you had tried this - be better if this was the problem... but its worth checking the input gear is the cross drilled one whilst you have it all in bits....
