I just have so much luck
well I lost my latest trans. 
I was running about 55 and dropped it in 3rd gear let out of the clutch completely and then I hit the gas,I heard 2 big booms and then grinding.so I thought I didn't have it in gear completely so Ipudshed it back in and nothing but grinding
I pulled it on the side of the road and put it in 1st gear and moved and a few clanks and I stopped.It is again the input shaft like my last trans. but I believe this one exploded boy I just love my car now

to upgrade all of you gear clusters and a rebuild kit you'll be nearing the 1k mark or going over. i think if you just do 1st 2nd 3rd and new syncros n stuff it's like 700 somethin. i priced it out once before. its almost worth buying a tko500 package for just a lil more and never having to rebuild it again.
yea take pictures. i would have taken pics of mine but there was nothing wrong, just worn out. lol. rebuild is prety easy though.

and talkin about bad luck today I was heating a piece of metal with a propane torch and had it on my back steps (didn't know this could happen) I had the torch focused on one spot and all of a sudden another big boom and I felt stuff hit all over my face and eyes(thought it was metal) and anyways found out that concrete could blow up if it got too hot(who new) I went to the hospital and there's a piece of concrete stuck in my eye because it's stuck so far in their that they couldn't get it out with a Q-tip or gauze so I have to go to the eye doctor mon. so they can get it out
