So i was racing. and i just beat a svt focus, and then i went to start my car and it was knocking really hard. so i shut it off and later started it again to limp home, and the stick was stuck and i couldnt get it into gear. so i turn it off and it wont turn back on. I got towed home by a friend. From the sounds of it is my tranny gone? Cauz im hoping its just the engine and the tranny is salvageable for a 3sgte swap.

At least you won the race. Sorry to hear about your car. Really cant tell what has happened. Hope its not very serious. You shouldn't have driven it after the race before you checked out what was the problem.

sounds like you are about to get to do the 3sgte swap. sucks that you messed it up, but it will probably be for the best

wow, worst site i have ever seen. Even worst than my tipped over GT4 when i bought it. At least, i replaced the whole roof, fenders, hood, left door and now its like new. Spent a good $4k though only for repairs and paint (parts were included when i bought it for about $10k) |

You know what man it could just be your clutch?? When I had my mx-3 and the clutch was going it would die alot when ever I engaged it, and then finally the day I was going to the shop to have it fixed the clutch died and it wouldnt go into gear. The problem started on a friday night of course which is why I didnt have it fixed right away. |

fuel leak from the 3SGTE swap,
kids make sure your fuel fittings are good and tight  it sounds to me like your clutch might be messed up, either a messed up fork or throw out bearing.. both of which could have ruined your pressure plate.. not too bad tho.. -------------------- -Mike
