Van is normally a dream to drive very well looked after fvsh. This happened with no warning. I went to pull away in 1st gear then I heard a slight clunk and I had to peel off the road. Clutch feels fine. Gears feel like they each go in but when I start to release the clutch I get a rough grinding noise and no movement. So my van is now motionless. Please tell me it's not the whole gear box?

Thanks
