You might be able to use some JB Weld and glue a nut on top of the busted piece and get another grip on it with a socket. If not, drill and pray the extractor doesn't snap off. Craftsman had a left-handed drill and easy-out combo that works but I don't know if it's large enough for a spark...

Hi, I have recently had the gearbox changed since the flush bearings went. There are now problems sometimes - not every single time, with selecting gears - mostly 1 and 3, although also 4. The replacement gearbox was changed also, having the same problems, a day or two apart; so i don't think it is...
