Bye Bye Tranny

So i was driving around a couple days ago to put it in 2nd and there was nothing there. i was like WTF!!!. I was sure it was the linkage because i had my new flex pipe and cat installed that day and the linkage runs right by there. So i was on my way back to my house and put it in third, let out the clutch, heard grinding, and i instantly had no gears left. My shifter would go in compleate circles. I called the dealership and they picked it up. They called today and said the transmission is "GONE!!!" so there replacing it for free under warrenty. Thankfully my uncle is th body shop manager at the shop and is good friends with the lead mechanic and he told me to buy a clutch and he'll throw it in.

My paycheck will be here in 2 weeks from friday. Ill have 1,200$ to spend but im not gonna use it all so i was th inking of a spec stage 2+ or stage 3+ but i dont want SAC

Give me some opinions and im pretty sure ill be talking to TTR or OTT about this.

id actualy guess broken roll pin in the shift linkage, but if its under warrenty, let em replace it free.

if you go with a spec 2+ or 3+ and a flywheel, you may aswell just buy the exedy for the price. i know some people have had good luck with the centerforce in our cars, the dfx looks pretty good for the price.

The only way I have ever broke a roll pin was shifting "with enthusiasm" ...
