well, I went drag racing on saturday and blew out my tranny.

Here's the deal. With the motor off I can shift gears fine.

when the motor is running Its hard to shift into gears. When I try to get into 1st gear, I'd have to yank it into 2nd before it'll slide into 1st.

Occasionally, I wont be able to get into third.

I took a WOT run to see if I had oil leaking from my headgasket, but when I got home and checked the motor, I noticed that oil was starting to seep out through
the crevices between the tranny and block. i.e. if you look at the B18C1 stamp on the block, you will literally see oil coming out between the passages.

Another symtom is that when I start the car up, it'll idle at 1400-1800 RPM's and the car would have a slight shake, as if my valves were bent, but when the car idles at 1000 RPM or less it runs smooth, there is no shaking at all..

I also notice clutch chatter when I shift gears and start out driving.
The clutch I'm running is the ACT A14HDSS clutch with the full face sprung disc with the heavy duty pressure plate.

Dan from Godspeed suggested that my syncros are worn,
Greg suggests that my Throwout bearing is busted
and I read somewhere that I may have popped a spring out of the disc?

What could it be based on these symtoms?

 

Wow.. poor car Sounds more like clutch related damage to me..
