Default I broke 5th gear again
I'm not sure if this is #3 or #4 but there is a crack 1/2 way around the base of the input for 5th gear. I was doing an inspection getting ready for a race next weekend when I found it. The tempting part is there is a 5sp GTS in my lot with a blown motor. Do you think the owner wil miss his gearbox if I borrow it?

Hah, hah (I mean about the other owner missing the gearbox).

Hold on. I think there will be a GTS gearbox for sale up here in a few days.

No motor, no transmission. No difference.

Mark, how much do you sell GTS transmissions for? $3500? More? 4x3500=$14,000. You could have a nice solution made for that kind of money...

The ability to fix it is not the problem, it's the cost of the parts.
