You don't have to replace the whole transmission, you can replace individual parts in a manual. It sounds like first is done...

It ain't a clutch problem if only some of the gears are effected.
Oh well - time for a 6-speed swap

 

so am i gonna need a new first gear??? is that what you're saying?? how would i go abouts getting parts for a first gear?



omg hella money for a six speed swap...hahaha...

 

sounds like the same thing that happend to myself. you prob. blow first gear of the shaft. or atleast i did that and i bought a 03 gear set of cheap and come to find out my casing was even gone so i ended up have to get a hole new tranny. but i have a hole gear assembly

 

Forget the 6speed, get the RA gears. Better investment as it's cheaper and as reliable.

 

when you say "launch" what exactly does that mean?

 

i broke my second a while back i drove around over 10k miles with it broken. i had to replace the whole tranny. i went with tha RA fron gruppe-s

 

RA's are the way to go

 

contact Gino or anyone else from GBmotorsports in hayward they really helped me out with my tranny problems..good quality work..and really good groups of guys too.

 

thanks guys

 

not to be a "newbe" but what is a RA?
