I lost third gear!
I was doing some boost controller work and lost third gear. There was a mechanical bang and then it is like it is in neutral. All the other gears work great. My mechanic said it is either a gear fork? or the gears for third are stripped off.

Oh well I still have 5 other gears!

They usually break in half, don't think is a fork., Powerhaus2 has all the right parts for your tranny, for excellent work go to Brian Copans, he is the best there is, cheers, Sonny.
