Gearbox help and advice

Looking at the posts on this forum there are many discussing the Mini’s gearbox, well it’s time for one more. I’m a novice when it comes to car mechanics so I’d be grateful for any help and advice. My Mini has done 72,000 miles, I got it 3 ½ years ago with 9000 on the clock.

The bottom line is that the gearbox has been replaced and my AA mechanical warranty will not pay out as they are claiming the damage is down to driver abuse. The nominated repair garage claimed to have never seen this type of problem before and obviously I’m disputing the claim of driver abuse. Driver abuse is cobblers and just their way of getting out of having to pay the claim. They claim that the damage is as a result of me going from 1st to reverse without stopping fully and vice versa.

Anyhow take and look at the picture and if you can offer any help, thoughts I’d be grateful to hear from you.
