Well bro that's suck as I know how you are feeling this happen to me after I did my first 1jz swap 3 years ago and only was able to drive my car for 3 weeks so I have been told that it could of been cause of my clutch or if when you start the car and have to Push the clutch in but I would like to hear also what causes this.
Ya what clutch are you running? A stiff pressure plate will pull back on the crank which pulls hard on the thrust Washers and when starting and lack of oil it wears them Down.
As long as nothing else was messed up visually put new ones in and check the clearances.
I bypassed my clutch start switch for this reason and start without touching clutch. I've never left my car in gear ever since I started driving so I never worry about it running away.

I am using ACT extreme I got it from DM and my clutch is bypassed but I was not able to just put new one in I had to get a new bottom end.
Yea I am using an ACT Extreme clutch but I have the clutch switch bypassed as well. I'm hoping I can just change the washers & rings & bearings. But I will find out on Monday when I take it to the machine shop. I will update what they tell me. Thx for the info!
