this car is truly sent from hell....
got the car back from the shop about two and a half months ago. had a "new" jdm engine put into the car as well as a new emissions harness. I got the car back and its running like a dream and i did a lot of driving to break everything in nice an easy, and this past weekend i moved from central cali to oregon, but on the way up i was driving on I5 and all was going well until i was about an hour south of the border and all of a sudden i hear a ka-CHUNK and the engine revs to 8k and 5th gear is gone. I pulled over as soon as i could, but still had to drive another 1/8th of a mile in 4th so i wouldnt get hit. I know 5th is probably gone, but i just need some conformation that its the actual gear that blew up and not just the syncro.
All things said, I am obviously looking for a new tranny, and am wondering if anyone knows of any good import shops in the central oregon area who may be able to help me out.

Luckily, transmissions are relatively cheap in a comparison to everything else on these cars, and I'm sure you will get your mess sorted out.

mhmm. try buying an rx7, having it die the next day, swapping an entire motor and transmission, and then having the turbos go south three days later.

In any case thank you all for the help, ive already called Rob at pineapple, but i got his voicemail so maybe ill get it rebuilt but at this point ill probably go with the cheapest option.

The FD didn't get nicknamed "Financial Disasters" for no reason.
Glad you're getting it sorted out. Just read through the forums lots of information about transmission installs.
