He could be refering to the throwout bearing. That might have taken a crap if he got his clutch done and they decided not to drop in a new pilot and throwout bearing at the same time.

It could also be the input shaft bearing on the trans, which I more like doubt.

 

not to sure what it is yet i should find out here in a week or two because i am taking it to a local shop and probably putting in a pfitzner gear set.

 

finally got pictures back on the bad gear compared to the new gears what a big difference. i also found out that i had a couple of bearings get destroyed when the gear blew

 

Manual transmissions don't just 'fail' like autos can. Either you mis shift are keep grinding gears until eventually it will no longer engage. It takes some serious abuse to just blow a transmission when it was working fine beforehand. Why are the two gears different?

Did you grind 1st to 2nd when the transmission problems started?

I'm guessing something was not done correctly when the clutch was installed or your driving habits are faulty, or both.

 

youve got me lost

when i drive, no i dont miss gears to destroy the transmission i also bought the car used so there is no telling what the guy the had it before me did so you cant go assuming i was the one at fault. but you know it doesnt mater it is a proven week point of the car and i am just showing the upgraded parts as i see them.
