OH CRAP!!!! SOMETHING BROKE!!!!!&# Options

[toyotacrazy]

I was driving on the highway about 70 mph today, I gave it a full boost accelleration and my friend in the pass seat noticed the shifter popped out of 5th gear into neutral. So I put it back into 5th and I couldnt accelerate. Now the car is stuck in 5th gear. All the shifter cables are good. I think the spec stage 2 disc broke. It was custom for the 3s swap using the stock gt transmission. Ive been hearing a rattle sound when at idle with the clutch petal out. When I pushed it in it would go away. I was told by spec that its my throw out bearing. It made sense at the time. I guess they were probably wrong. This sucks!!!!!I'll let you all know when I get it apart. later

i used to have that same noise. it would go away after pushing the clutch in . everyone told me it was the throw out bearing too . then one day, i had to get the car towed because my pass side axle fell out of my tranny. turns out, the noise i was hearing was because one of the bolts for the axle bracket that attaches to the engine block, came out, and the other bolt broke in half. once the bolts broke, axle fell out and the car would just idle while in gear. so you might want to look into that.
