    On Friday I had the GS out and was shifting from 1st to second @ about 4500 RPM. Heard a BANG inside the trans, and lost 1/2/3 gears. Car moved in 4th thanks to the BBB torque. Ended up with a big towing bill to get it home.

    Nothing exited the case, but could hear something broken and bouncing inside the case. Any ideas what I might of broken, slider, shift dogs, gear?:mad:

    My 2nd gear was getting weak, but not jumping out of engagement yet.

    I'll be pulling it out later this week, weather permitting.

    Spoke to my tranny guy today, sounds like a busted main cluster :Dou:

    Looks like I've got some money to spend (not good).

    Michael,

    Thanks for the offer, but I need wide ratio W/3.31 gears. Thinking of doing the upgrade to M22, using my 660 case. My guess it that wear & too much torque did in the M20. Couldn't of been that 4500 power shift :Brow: with the sticky tires, right?

    Had to move the car last night, no reverse either! So, I guess all the guts need replacing. :rant:
