He killed 4th gear from what he told me last night. I do not know why that is a problem, he has 5 other gears he can still use.

Yeah so I am driving along loving life in my sweet whip finally on the asphalt seas again and I just pass some motherfukers on the highway and shift at the top of third into fourth, nothing special, I don't even flat shift and it not go into gear. Somehow, the car stalls, and I can't get it into gear. I eventually am able to slam the bitch back in and car gets going but then I hear a big *** crunch.

This is pretty lame considering that while I have not been the nicest to the trans with flat shift and excursions to 10000RPM, I have not tracked it so it hasn't been overheated and I never launched it hard on the track.

I am suspicious that trans is low on fluid and got unhappy? Maybe I forgot to top it up after I pulled the motor last time. Either that or maybe I installed my 949 clutch wrong and fuked the trans with it somehow?

I think Failflora should just do a 5th gear dyno pull, before anything else on the car changes.

But you know that's never going to happen.
His life goal is to troll everyone and do exactly what no one wants him to do.

The current trans is dead but the car runs ... put some fluid in it and do a 5th gear pull. Why risk a new trans?
