my guess would be that you sheared part of the gears, but that you didn’t destroy anything (well aside from bearings now filled with chunks of metal) take it apart, no one will have expertise in it but a good driveline guy should be able to order you the right parts and put it all back together (with new bearings) either way costly mistake, but even at $1000 it’s still worth it, it’ll still be worth it if you sell it in a couple years ---

I’m not surprised, but it’s no catastrophic loss. ---

In My experience rebuilding trannies…Hardly ever will you actually break a gear. UNLESS you are making HUGE power… 99% of the time. its just a shift fork… There Super easy to replace and yea… I just had a talon in the shop Only had 4th gear… and he was telling me that before it broke It also grinded 1st and 2nd all the time… So i tore it apart put new shift fork in. and some syncros… 60 bucks later in parts. Hees got a sweet shifting trans again. I would almost put money on it that its Just a shift fork… And the HKS would proly use a OEM NISSAN shift fork… So tear the trans out and bring it to someone that knows what there doing and tear it apart… Its prolly not much at all… ---

ya bro, honestly you should gut out that tranny & save it before it gets more damaged from the bits and pieces inside probably from the blown R gear… :S I would swap in a regular tranny till you got the money or so to repair that. Otherwise it’d be a waste to just keep driving it around and more money to spend in the end I bet. but GoodLuck either way. \*but from what spoooolin said it seems like it could be fixed with not much hassle, just make sure you get it inspected. ---

Exactly what im doing, the car won’t be driven or touched. Come spring il put in the old tranny, and hopefully fix this one depending on the case. I don’t think the problem is to bad its just sourcing parts and maybe a little bit price. Dog box’s can be expected to be rebuilt every season or every 10K. I was just hopping to get a couple of seasons out of it through proper regular maintenance and come rebuild time i would let it go. ---

sorry about your bad luck man. Rebuild is for sure not as expensive as replacing the unit or selling it. Cheers n good luck. ---

Nope sorry. I still have the tranny on the car, hasn’t moved at all, just sitting in the garage. I won’t have any funds till this school semester ends. I have a few things that need to be done that i can’t do so im going to get them all done at once with the tranny swap. Once i have it off i plan on repairing it. However that won’t happen till the end of summer cause i want to completely finish both my cars that i have now with the possibility of building a third car for some other purpose listed in my sig. So in reality im doubtful the HKS will see the track this year. I will post what the damage is when i discover it. ---

excuse me if this is a stupid comment for this thread but what is the point of the tranny? what makes it so good having your shift pattern in a different way? how different are the gear ratios from a stock gearbox? basicaly what im asking is what is the advantage of buying this thing and having the pain of rebuilding it every season…(if you even have to do that) ---
