Most people talk about missing a gear, however has anyone ever clutched changed gears(so u think) and started letting the cluch out kinda fast and heard a really loud grinding sound? I did this today pretty badley how much damage do you think is done?

Only time I get a grinded sound is when:

1.) miss a shift (rarely happens and never happens now that I have the MGW shifter)

2.) cold weather driving. We had a HARSH winter in the Midwest and when things were really cold the TR3650 grinded a bit going into gear.

OK, right after it happened it was hard to get the shifter into 2nd gear the gear it spun in. But now i didnt drive for the rest of the day and now it seams fine. I know i probally destroyed some of the teeth on the syncors but you guys think it will still hold up for the long run?

If it was just grinding because you let the clutch out before you got it all the way into gear, it should be fine. Obviously its not a good thing, but it shouldn't be the deat of your trans (assuming you pulled it into neutral/put in the clutch as soon as you realized what was happening).
