ok guys, i really need some advice on this one. I leave home to go to work last night and it was very hard to get into gear, sitting still or moving,and grinds every time i go into reverse. my clutch only has about 6000 miles on it(lots of racing, very hard shifting). My clutch quadrant is broke but i have a bronze bushing and some washers in between the cable and the hole were the cable goes through on the top of the transmission to take out the slack(yes this works). So i figure my clutch cable is getting stretched (only has about 3000 miles on it) so i get home this morning and everything is tight. I go up the road and just cruising i go from 1st to 2nd, and it sounds like something falls out of my tranny. Now it WILL NOT go in gear. (i got out and looked underneath the car, nothing fell out). So i turn the car off, put it in gear, and bump the starter. It jumps but i get going and drive home in first gear. so i am guessing i broke a Pressure plate strap? Any replies would be very appreciated. Sorry this is so long.(could the noise i heard be something in the clutch that flew apart?)

I would have to say your pressure plate is toast.

Sounds to me like your case broke where the shifter stabilizer bar is bolted.

Time for a visual inspection.

If you've been beating the snot out of it, then chances are you ripped that boss apart. In which case you need to do one of three things.....A: find someone who can weld aluminum, B: find someone competent enough to build a bracket and use one of the other holes on the tranny, or 3: get yourself a new tranny case.


And get your damn quadrant fixed.

the last time I heard something falling out of my trans was a chuck of aluminum from the diff housing LOL! Check it out see what happened.

i am willing to bet money that ya broke a pp strap, powershifting will do that ya know, it happened to me about a month ago
hard as **** to get it in gear and reverse grinded with the motor running, when it was off there was no problems

shifts like a dream now with that new clutch

on a side note, when ya decide its time to do the clutch, do this at the same time if ya havent already: http://www.shotimes.com/php-bin/mod...le=article&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0&sid=93
