WARNING

For everybody with a goofy clutch, the ones that will stick the clutch pedal 1/2 way down and not fully engauge on an agressive slipper launch and ANYBODY that has trouble shifting to second at 5000+ RPM.

I have read where a few People said their trans is shifting good now that the updated clutch has been installed. And, that may be true. But my trans would not shift above 5000 to second gear, just grinds. I assumed the trans was OK and that it was just a warped clutch disc not fully dis-engauging that caused the trans to not shift to second at high RPM and that may still be true, but my Trans was damaged. So, yes my Trans had unintentional abuse, but that was directly caused by the clutch. I never personally missed a gear. Repeat, I never missed a gear. Just grinded it once when the clutch was slipping and I did not know it and when the clutch was hot and not disengauging on the shift to second as I have seen many others post.

Well, the TECH working on my car took my trans apart and the 2nd gear syncros and blocker rings (not sure of exact terms) were trashed. He took me in the back and showed me the parts and my trans completely taken apart. The Brass part was all worn down and scored and the steel piece was worn and had blue spots on the outside.

I am so glad this dealer did not second guess me in any way and decided on their own to take my Trans apart.
