Default i forgot

i forgot to let you guys know the shape of my tranny when they took it apart!
Lets just say it was gnarled to hell an back, Cracked input shaft, broke 3-4 gear, turned the synchros into dust and there was a piece he pulled and and said "i dont know what this was but i asume its broke too"

Now i wont have to worry about my tranny again, i had them order and install billett pieces for everything.

LOL.. I know how that feels.. When my old 3650 decided to crap itself, I broke the synchro's powershiftinginto 2nd and 3rd, then I got stuck at about half track and they had to push me off cause I couldn't get it in gear. LOL Turns out I'd sheared all the teeth off of 2nd and 3rd, AND broken the shift fork like a stale pretzel.. lol I don't even wanna know what the input/output shafts looked like..[:@]Errmmm, lets say I was NOT a happy camper.. And that was only the FIRST time I've had 3650 synchro's go out on me.. LOL Still, I'm happier than a dog in a hubcap factory with the TKO I bought.

At least now that it's all billet i shouldn't crap the bed again that's for sure..

sad to say there are none, i was kinda rushed to get the rental car back to the dealer, get my car, and get back to nashville for drill in 4 hours. im not going to say how fast i was driving, but the dealer ship is 3 hours from my drill center 1 way.
