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

The s534 broke the day after I raised my boost from 6 to 10. This says a lot about what it can handle. But maybe it was a problem with my box. I did have grinding before the 3sgte swap. Thanks again!

if you had problems with the tranny before you swaped, thats why you had problems after you swaped.
there are lots of guys here running 3sgtes and 5sftes with no issues.
