I was out last night and i was a bit of a t**t, i shot back in reverse, next thing is reverse just stopped working, i have all forward gears but there is like a loud rattling/nocking noise while driving
at times i cant get it out of gear either, it feels like something is bashing into the other...
over the last few weeks my engine has got more n more rattly, we have listened closely and the noise seems to be coming from the top of the engine.
When i rev it over 2k the noise stops.
first thing that i did was check the oil and there is enough in there, there is no smoke out the back...
about 2 months ago i had the middle section of my exhaust removed for a strait through, since then the car has been getting worse n worse with the running when cold, its got to the point where its acting like a carb does when it black spots.

when i accelerate when the car is cold the car is dead and then all of a sudden it shoots off, i have also had it where i have booted it from cold and the car has gone nowhere it just makes like a dead roar then it kicks in and works ok, also when cold the revs go up and down by a fair bit on...
