so i think my transmission is shot.. basically its doing this..

put in a new pressure plate, and been having troubles since. slave blew up, so i replaced that. but now going into 1st is reallly hard from a stop. but once its in i can take it out and it goes in like butter (synchro?) same thing with 2nd gear. 3rd 4th 5th are all good. except for once cruising in 5th there was a sudden rattle coming from the trans. going into reverse is pretty hard, and once in its extremely hard getting teh car to move. it takes a lot of gas and effort to get it to go and it just basically does no like it. also this was after taking it to the drag strip and doing a couple drop clutch launches and some slip launches. im guessing my synchros and or bearings r shot.. what u guys think? it was an act heavy duty pressure plate that went in

well it was all adjusted and bled.. and then after taking it to the drag strip it started being a knob :( i was only running 17" street tires with a 40 series sidewall at 30 psi. also i forgot to mention, sitting in nuetral i can let the clutchout and the car will lurch forward..

lol ya thats what im thinking.. is it worth it to put the royal purple in? or just save it for tomorrow when i put a used on in.. i dont mind buying one, i found one with 120k KM on it (60k miles) for 500 Canadian. i just want to make sure its not something small before i do it.

haha yea didnt think it would be a good thing when it lurches forward, almost hitting a car infront of me, able to basically hear it whine, and the rpms drop about 500 rpm..
