LS1 Z28 and a broken T-5.

My trans started getting a little noisy after my last race that I posted and it gets worse....

I was coming home from band practice last night when a new orange Z28 pulls along side with his R's up. I slow down and drop into 3rd around 3500 rpm. I let him take the jump and floor it. I am creeping on him until my rev's hit around 4500-5000 where I really start to pull I let off after the top of 3rd with about a 1.5-2 car lead.

Well this guy wants to go again! So I slow down and crack the bottle to lay real waste to him. He takes the jump again and a second after I floor it..... CRRAAAACCCCZZZXXXQQSSS!!!SNAP CRACKLE GRIND! 3rd gear is gone! He is next to me revving his motor while I am coasting with my trans making some ungodly nasty noises. I limped home to the sounds of broken gears and the smell of leaking trans fluid from the cracked case.

I'll be out of commission again for a couple of weeks.
