OK heres what happened. As of late my car has been a little difficult shifting in the mornings, with it being cold I guess. In the afternoons it's a lot easier getting into gears. Well not no more. Yesterday I left home and shifting from 1st to 2nd I heard/felt a big pop. Assuming I either misshifted or it popped out of gear, I went back to neutral and back again to 2nd. Nothing happened except for the rpm's just reving up and up. So I coasted to a parking lot and let go of the clutch out of gear and the tranny made a loud grinding,whirling, squealing noise. Made the same noise in 1st and reverse also BUT the tranny goes into every gear with no problems now. . Finally get the car home and removed the tranny to find that the clutch is fine, not shattered just a little worn but not too bad for a 4 puck with heavy duty pressure plate, and throw out bearing is fine. So I turn to the tranny and take that apart. I find from what it looks to me is all the teeth on the gears are fine , but the bad thing is I found 2 shiny little ball bearings just lying in around just chillin and drinkin "s.. AAAGGGGHHHHHHHH..So what do I do?????? Gears are fine, no clue where these bearings come from, no metal shavings anywhere, and a poor college student.

 

If the teeth in the gears and synchros look good, it cant be too bad

You really need a helms right now. Go to acuracarland.com. Go to the parts link and online catalog. You can see all the bearings there in the pic. Replace the bad one. And have some

 

Coolness, Thanks for the reply. hopefully it's going to be good news as you say. I will find out tomorrow.
