Thanks, after further invesigation I found out my car has an aftermarket short shifter with stop bolts. As long as they are set correct I should not have a bent shifting fork issue. I hope anyway.

I installed that steeda clutch kit this weekend and it did not solve my problem. I ordered a spec stage 2 clutch today, I hope that does it, what did your car do when you bent that shifting fork?

Well I have not made it that far, after I installed the steeda clutch kit and it was still making noise I left it set. By the by when your shifting folk was bent did your clutch make noise. I'm just trying to rule out a bent shift fork since I was power shifting when all this happened. Thanks
