Thanks Dan, I agree. Scott I hope I can get away with a simple undercut and an airshifter. Once it started getting hard to shift I should have parked it, but I need to learn these things the hard way.

I got the motor half apart this afternoon, and lookie what I found in my oilpan! It's 4th gear! From the output shaft. Luckily I found a complete trans with clutch on eBay for $95 delivered. The cases look to be fine, no collateral damage as far as I can tell, but I'll have to see when they are apart. I feel very lucky.
YIKES!!!!!!!!!
lucky you didn't scramble the entire lower end and lock up the motor/front sprocket.

I'm a lucky SOB for sure. Bill Warner had a similar failure last fall, but lost the whole bottom end.

so was the failure from the gear popping out (and then doing something funky) or from literally breaking into small pieces from turbo power?
