    That's been overly done, let's keep it original, just add the thong with pink poke a dots. Now that's a classic ;?) Get ready to run cause I think Ben's about to kill us lol

    3rd is overrated. It's the "middle child" of the gears. Just drive without it.

    Just run 2nd gear up to 12/13k then shift to 4th, you will be fine.

    For real though...that sucks.

    This is a good point. Who needs 5 speeds anyways? That's too many!

    On the brighter side at least you won't have to worry about mis-shifting into 3rd ever again. :(

    Damn Ben, sorry to hear about the transmission.

    Don't sell the car, not after the work you've put into it. Are you thinking about going the PPG route or looking more along the lines of a 6 speed swap?

    Ben just and FYI: we put your old BC Racing coilovers to great use over the weekend. I'd say majority of the NF crew benefited and really enjoyed them on the road course lmao. :smoke:

    Since you were "too cool" to show up for the BMW event, I decided to retire my driving (until the next time I can buy a track day).

    Yeah, the drive gear got eaten up. It made quite a racket with all those teeth in there.

    Here's a quick video of me running through the gears. You can hear the whine in 1st :)

    It's definitely loud but I like it so far. Feels faster on the butt dyno, but I need to get some logs to see if it really changed anything.

    Maybe if Nuke has some free time for a check up, I can swing by your place while I'm over there.
